CAMBRIDGE â âThis bathhouse probably has the best view of any in our whole country,â said Commissioner Sarah Stewart of the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources during a ribbon-cutting on Thursday, July 15, at Lake Umbagog State Park.
The ceremony officially marked the completion of the new two-story structure overlooking the 7,850-acre shallow lake rimmed by forested mountains.
COVID-19 distancing and mask requirements prevented the state from marking the occasion in 2020 when the bathhouse was first opened to public use in the state-owned campground off Route 26.
The Division of Parks and Recreation calls the handsome shingled building a visitor services building because its facilities include both menâs and womenâs toilet rooms, a family bathroom, three showers, a laundry room, and pot-washing and dishwashing area.
