Lake Attitash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Attitash is a lake located on the border of Merrimac, Massachusetts and Amesbury, Massachusetts, and constitutes at least a portion of Amesbury's water supply.

There are beaches both on the Amesbury and Merrimac shores. Merrimac's beach is known as Indian Head Park. The lake was formerly known as "Kimball's Pond".

The lake is popular with seasonal tourists, as well as residents. It is normally safe for swimming. Boats are allowed on the lake, although jet skis were prohibited per act of town meeting in Merrimac after a collision with a young swimmer.
