Ponds and Lakes of the White Mountains : A Four-Season Guide for Hikers and Anglers Paperback / softback

The second revised edition of this companion to the ponds and lakes of New Hampshire's White mountains celebrates their rich diversity: You can hike, ski, snowshoe, swim, paddle a canoe, watch birds or moose, or simply linger by a sunny shore.

Expanded fishing information tells you where to cast a line for small-mouth bass, perch, native speckled trout, and more.

The ponds that Smith describes range 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.

He weaves into the text anecdotes and quotations culled from old guidebooks and local history.

Additional information includes a bibliography and the author's lists of everything from the best ponds for a family hike to the best rocks to sit on.

Each of the 68 descriptions include: * A trail description * Directions to road or trailhead access, with a topographical map * A summary of hiking facts, pond and lake statistics, activities, and fishing opportunities * Descriptions of nearby overlooks that offer bird's-eye views * Notes on visiting in winter
