A History of Lake Attitash

In this day and age of our fast paced and turbulent world it's sometimes worth taking a longer view to put things into perspective. We live in a place of natural beauty and a place where the pace of life gives us the opportunity to slow down, and enjoy the simple pleasures of the moment. As you will see by reading this historical record of Lake Attitash, there have been times of challenge and times of pleasure, entertainment and enjoyment.

A special thanks to Hillary Snook, who produced much of this historical record from the Amesbury Library newspaper clippings (*), and from others with a depth of knowledge about the lake, and lastly, from the internet, of course.
