Echo Lake is a popular spot for water and land recreation, located west of Somes Sound and north of Southwest Harbor. Small watercraft can be launched from Ikes Point along Route 102. Visitors can swim and enjoy the beach staffed by a lifeguard during the summer. Trail access to Beech Mountain and other connector trails starts from the end of the parking lot.
