About Echo Lake State Park

Echo Lake State Park is a family-friendly day-use park with a swimming beach and picnic space. A scenic trail loops around the lake, and other trails lead to neighboring Cathedral Ledge State Park, where visitors can enjoy wide views of the Saco River Valley. Parking is limited, so reserving a day-use spot in advance is recommended, especially on busy weekends and holidays.
