Granite Lake is a 233-acre (0.9 km²)[1] lake located in Cheshire County in southwestern New Hampshire, United States, in the towns of Nelson and Stoddard.[2][3] The village of Munsonville, within the town of Nelson, is located at the outlet. The lake flows into a tributary of Otter Brook, which flows southwest to the Ashuelot River in Keene and thence to the Connecticut River. Granite Lake Dam regulates the lake's water level.[4]

The lake is classified as a coldwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, lake trout, smallmouth bass, rock bass, chain pickerel, and horned pout.[1]
