  • Der Squam Lake ist ein See in der Mitte des US-Bundesstaates New Hampshire nordwestlich des viel größeren Lake Winnipesaukee. Er liegt südlich der White Mountains am Berührungspunkt von Grafton County, Carroll County und Belknap County. Seine Fläche beträgt 27,5 km² und seine maximale Ausdehnung 11,3 km in der Länge und 7,4 km in der Breite. Der Squam Lake ist der zweitgrößte See, der vollständig in New Hampshire liegt. Der Squam-See entwässert durch einen kurzen natürlichen Abfluss in den und dann durch einen Staudamm am Kopf des bei Ashland in den Pemigewasset River. Sein ursprünglicher Name lautete Keeseenunknipee, was ‚der See der Gänse im Hochland‘ bedeutete und von den weißen Siedlern um das Jahr 1779 herum zu Casumpa oder Kusumpy verkürzt wurde. In den frühen Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts erhielt der See einen anderen Namen in der Sprache der Abenaki, Asquam, der ‚Wasser‘ bedeutete. Schließlich erhielt der See zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts seinen heutigen Namen. Der Kinofilm Am goldenen See (1981) wurde hier gedreht und zwei Schiffsausflugstouren mit Ausgangspunkt in Holderness führen die Besucher an die Drehorte. (de)
  • Le lac Squam est un lac situé au sein de la région des Grands lacs au centre du New Hampshire et au sud des montagnes blanches (États-Unis). Il est riverain des comtés de Grafton, de Carroll et de Belknap. Il draine par un court canal naturel le lac Little Squam au niveau de la ville de Holderness. Couvrant une surface de 27,48 km2, Squam est le deuxième plus grand lac situé en totalité dans le New Hampshire après le lac Winnipesaukee. Le lac a servi de toile de fond au film La Maison du lac qui a obtenu trois oscars en 1982. (fr)
  • Squam Lake is a lake located in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, United States, south of the White Mountains, straddling the borders of Grafton, Carroll, and Belknap counties. The largest town center on the lake is Holderness. The lake is located northwest of much larger Lake Winnipesaukee. It drains via a short natural channel into Little Squam Lake, and then through a dam at the head of the short Squam River into the Pemigewasset at Ashland. Covering 6,791 acres (27.48 km2), Squam is the second-largest lake located entirely in New Hampshire. Squam Lake was originally called Keeseenunknipee, which meant "the goose lake in the highlands". The white settlers that followed shortened the name to "Casumpa", "Kusumpy" and/or "Kesumpe" around 1779. In the early 19th century, the lake was given another Abenaki name, Asquam, which means "water". Finally, in the early 20th century, Asquam was shortened to its present version, Squam. Squam Lake is much less commercialized than its neighbor Lake Winnipesaukee, which has waterfront attractions in Meredith, Weirs Beach, and other locations. Unlike the numerous businesses dotting the shores of Winnipesaukee, only a few are present on Squam, and none of them are located on Squam itself (there is an ice cream shop, a general store/marketplace, a restaurant, two marinas, and multiple gas stations on Little Squam). The Squam Lakes Association maintains only four boat-launching sites on the entire lake in order to keep it as quiet and private as possible. The 1981 film On Golden Pond was filmed in the town of Center Harbor on Squam Lake. There are two tour boat services on the lake, both based in Holderness. One is Experience Squam, a private charter, and the other is the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. Both services show filming locations and items of natural significance. Squam Lake is a nesting site for common loons and is a good place to see them in breeding plumage during the summer months. Bald eagles and great blue herons are also known to nest on the lake. The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, lake trout, lake whitefish, smallmouth and largemouth bass, chain pickerel, horned pout, and white perch.
