A four-season guide to White Mountain waters

Steven D. Smith brings together 68 descriptions of ponds and lakes across the White Mountains, from roadside swimming spots to remote tarns reached by hiking or snowshoeing. Each entry combines access directions, trail details, scenery and activity notes, fish species, and information for winter visits, with USGS maps and photographs. Local history, drawn from older guidebooks and histories, adds context to the landscape. A dedicated chapter on trout fishing by local expert David Nelson, along with a bibliography and annotated gazetteer, makes the book both a field reference and a record of the region’s waters.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Hikers and visitors planning outings to White Mountain ponds and lakes in different seasons.

  • Readers interested in local history alongside outdoor access information.

Book overview

This all-season hiker's and visitor's guide to the ponds and lakes of the White Mountains celebrates the rich diversity here. Smith describes a variety of ponds and lakes-from a tree-lined roadside beauty perfect for a spontaneous swim, to an isolated mountain tarn reached only after a day of serious hiking or snowshoeing. The author matches his love of ponds with a passion for local history, weaving into the text anecdotes and quotations culled from old guidebooks, local histories, and classics from the nineteenth century. Additional information includes a special chapter on fishing for trout in mountain ponds (written by local fishing expert David Nelson), a detailed bibliography, and an annotated Index and Gazetteer of White Mountain Ponds and Lakes. Each of the 68 descriptions includes: -Summary of hiking facts, pond and lake statistics, activities, and fish species; -directions to road or trailhead access (with USGS map); -trail description; -summary of scenery and activities found at the pond or lake (with photographs); -side trips to nearby overlooks; -notes on visiting in winter.
