    It's always fun to stop by Big Steep Pond. Lakes? Sure, Lake Mary is close at hand. What a site this is for outdoors people. West Clearwater Lake is a good lake close to Big Steep Pond, and Doe Lake Campground is a good campground nearby. This lake is so wonderful. One of the best things about Big Steep Pond is its proximity to Hampton Beach, and Lake Catherine Campground is a glorious local campground.
