Echo Lake Beach
Overview. This is a quick walkout to an outstanding lakeside view looking straight down Franconia Notch. The ladies enjoyed a cold dip, while I took in the sweeping views with extremely active afternoon clouds. Located just off the interstate, this is a nice stop anytime you’re in the area.
