No where else on earth does the water smell like fresh earth and feel like velvet. It is what makes Squam Lake magical and it is what I seek every morning just after the sun rises. I immerse myself in the water and become one with the waterbugs, loons, fish and eagle flying overhead as I slowly swim the shoreline. At this time of morning with my eyes at waterline I can see across the lake as clearly as if I could reach out and touch the other shore. Rain or shine, cold or warm, I swim to be part of the rhythm of nature, if only for a week or two.
