Five Star’s Blog
Here is a photo of the July 4th parade showing the Grand Marshals in one of RDC's Utility Golf Carts. We receive excellent support from Five Star Golf Carts in Laconia, NH and they recently wrote a great blog post about RDC. Here is an excerpt of the article:
"Imagine a place far from ringing cellphones, rush-hour traffic, and the concerns of the modern world. A place where clean air, cool water and relaxation are the norm. You are likely imagining something like Rockywold-Deephaven Camps (RDC)."

Bald Eagle on Squam Lake
On May 2nd, Iain MacLeod, Executive Director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, scoped the Little Loon eagle nest from Rockywold and confirmed a hatch. He reported that he could see an adult tearing up prey and offering morsels to unseen chick (or chicks). He guessed that they would have hatched within the last week or so.
While watching the eagles, he also spotted a pair of Merlins courting at the end of Deephaven point, about a quarter of a mile from where they nested in 2009 and 2010 and closer to where they nested in 2008.
More Squam Ice Out
Here are some more photographs of the ice going out on Squam. Notice how much the view from Deep Main Dock changed since yesterday!

View from Rattlesnake
I hiked Rattlesnake yesterday and took some photos of the "ice status" in our area.
Some open water around Five Finger Point! Nice break headed towards Deephaven.
A little opening up at the end of the bight.
Another view of the break from Five Finger Point to Deephaven's eastern shore. Still plenty of ice out there!
Sugaring Season
In celebration of sugaring season, I took some photographs of the Rockywold Sugarbush and the old Sugar House. It is starting to feel like spring in New Hampshire.

"We feel rooted within our own families as well as with those special friends we meet at this place. We are regenerated by Squam Lake's natural wonders-- fragrant pines, mountain summits, star-filled night skies, and haunting loon calls, to name a few.
Those of us lucky enough to spend some summer days at RDC share in a restful calm. We are certainly grateful for this unique place of simplicity and peace. I know we take this spirit with us when we leave Squam, counting the days until we can return".
