Stinson Lake is a 350-acre (1.4 km²) water body located in Grafton County in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, in the town of Rumney, USA. Water from Stinson Lake flows via Stinson Brook, the Baker River, and the Pemigewasset River to the Merrimack River[1].
The lake is a result of glacier deposits. It has a max depth of around 70 feet, with a few shallow banks around the southern rim. It has a cove to the southwest with a dam. Stinson is one of the few lakes around the region without much parasitic plants. Its waters are very clear allowing a maximum depth of 25 feet to see the bottom. The bottom of the lake is scattered with boulders and other debris[citation needed].
