Lake Compounce Map and Brochure (2025 – 2002)
Built around its namesake lake, this park’s looping shoreline layout is both its charm and its challenge—half classic amusement park, half wooded lakeside retreat. A Lake Compounce map keeps visitors oriented between the sweeping midway and the quieter trails that wind toward Boulder Dash’s hillside track. You’ll want it handy to time the trolley runs, find shade-side dining, and plan for night shows near the water’s edge. The wooden bridges and lake crossings can confuse even locals.
