Christine Lake is a beautiful lake in northern New Hampshire, United States. It's about 197-acre (0.8 km2) big, which is like 150 football fields! You can find it in a town called Stark, in Coos County.
The lake is nestled between the Percy Peaks mountains and the Upper Ammonoosuc River. All the water from Christine Lake eventually flows into the Upper Ammonoosuc River. From there, it travels to the big Connecticut River near Groveton. Finally, this water makes its way all the way down to Long Island Sound.
