I’m going to be in the Conway/Jackson area for five days this week and early next and need an option for swimming. Pool or OWS is fine - anyone know of any good ponds/lakes or of a lap pool in the area that’s open to the public?? Thanks!!
Not much in the way of pools up there. I think you can swim in Echo Lake near North Conway (there’s also an Echo Lake in Franconia that’s great). You could also go a bit south to White Lake St Park. I did a race there a few years ago and it was pretty nice.
Google Maury Mckinney swimming and email him.
I think he and the locals swim in a little place called Crystal Lake, it is in that general area.
If you’re going to be their Sunday or Monday I can very likely join you, just so happens I’ll be in the area.

Brian,
Thanks - looks like Echo Lake is much closer to where I’m staying, in Jackson. I’ve done the Pitch Pine race in the past, and White Lake is also a nice venue. I’ll probably get in a swim on Friday morning and maybe Monday if we don’t head home on Sunday evening.
I went back and looked at my buddy Josh’s strava, who has a place up in Jackson, and he’s been swimming at Echo. It looks small but nice!
Enjoy - it’s a great area. Be sure to hit up Flatbreads and Moat Mountain!
Love Moat Mtn - BBQ is excellent and great brews too.
