Looking to purchase one of the Squam Lake homes for sale? From arts and culture to exercise and canoeing, there's no shortage of ways to spend a summer on Squam, but follow this list of do's and don'ts to make your summer one to remember: Do: Take a Hike By buying Squam Lake real estate, you'll have easy access to some of the most beautiful sights in New England. Whether you seek to get in touch with nature, exercise more, or simply experience a different view, you'll love hiking or jogging through the Bridle Path Trailhead, Chamberlin-Reynolds National Forest, and other nature trails. Don't: Disturb the Wildlife Squam Lake is home to rare birds, fish, moose, turtles, and other wildlife, and while it's great to watch these animals from afar, don't disturb them. The lake has suffered environmental damage over the past century, and while threatened species like the Bald Eagle and the Common Loon have recovered, their position is still precarious. You can watch and appreciate these animals all you want, but keep your distance and follow conservation laws. Do: Go on a Boat Tour Boating through the lake is great exercise and it exposes you to beautiful views, allowing you to see local wildlife from a new perspective. Organizations like the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and Experience Squam offer daily and hourly boat rentals as well as group boat tours of the area. Whether by kayak, canoe, or sailboat, there's no better way to experience Squam Lake's natural beauty than from the water. Don't: Ignore the Culture Though often praised for its natural attractions, Squam Lake also has a vibrant culture, with galleries, theatrical performances, concerts, and a wide range of other attractions for visitors and residents alike.
