White Lake State Park Programs

Another season of Discover the Power of Parks programs at White Lake State Park has come to a close. Please be sure to visit again next year for more quality programming.

White Lake's interpretive ranger, Stamati Angonostou from the Student Conservation Association has transitioned over to Monadnock State Park and will be offering programs at the Gilson Pond Campground area with fellow ranger, Jonathan Rager during the month of September. All programs are free with paid admission into the park.

Program Descriptions

Lake Life
White Lake is home to a plethora of life.  From water striders to green frogs to baby catfish, these creatures tell us a story full of drama- mystery, intrigue, birth and death- that is not to be missed.

The Bear Essentials
Living with bears is an integral part of camping at White Lake.  Often misunderstood, bears are more similar to us, and more fragile, than we can imagine. In getting to know bears we can learn to respect their wildness, power and beauty.

A Walk in the Woods
The shores of White Lake are host to a variety of natural communities.  Join us on a hike around the lake as we discuss plants, animals, insects, fungi and other living (and non-living!) things that make White Like a diverse and happening place.

Round the Campfire
The stories that populate New England are innumerable. Join Ranger Stamati 'round the campfire as he regales you with tales guaranteed to make you say, "Huh" in one way or another.
Freaky Friday Edition: Our tales take a frightening and surprisingly local turn on Friday the 13th!  

Night Hike
As the sun sets, the world is transformed; new creatures emerge and our senses are heightened by a shadowy realm of beauty and mystery.  Come with us and explore the secrets that the night reveals.

The Sand(wich) Between Your Toes
As you bathe in the crystalline waters of White Lake, feeling the sand beneath your feet, have you ever wondered exactly what it is you dig your toes into?  Did you ever think your feet could be covered in an old Sandwich?  If you think that's ridiculous, think again!  Join us for a story of the mountains, the lake, and the forces that shaped them and continue to shape them.

Camp Like a Champ
Everyone loves a champion, especially when it comes to camping.  Learn how to be at your best through Leave No Trace ethics when camping in front country or backcountry, and maybe you too can become a CAMPION!

Stargazing
The night sky displays the vastness of the universe. If we look closely we might just see it. Join us as we discover the stars, planets, constellations and more. Meet at the Beach Store.

Stories on the Beach
Gather 'round for an hour of stories from the White Mountains. Bring a chair, your favorite snacks and kick back and enjoy the tales our region has to offer. Meet at the Beach Store
