Squam Lake, New Hampshire's second largest lake, located in the central part of the state, south of the White Mountains. It straddles the borders of Grafton, Carroll, and Belknap Counties. The largest town on the lake is Holderness. The lake is located northwest of Lake Winnipesaukee. Big Squam drains via short canal into Little Squam Lake, and then a dam at the head of the short Squam River into the Pemigewasset at Ashland.
This doesn't sound right: Over 3,000 acres (12 km²) in size, the lake is maintained by the Squam Lake Association.
