Sprawling across the border between the towns of Barnstead and Alton in Belknap County set against the backdrop of Prospect Mountain, Halfmoon Lake is a beautiful, quiet lake in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region.

Classified as a mesotrophic lake, it is a moderately fertile lake supporting healthy populations of fish.

Pickerel, horned pout, and white perch all make their home in the lake, and anglers can try their luck against the lake’s largemouth bass.
