I've been blessed to have a family house on Lake Winnipesaukee for over 50 years. The number of attractions and things to do are endless. Have a boat hike the three islands that are open to the public, visit the quaint towns of Wolfeboro, Alton, Meredith, or commercially developed Weirs Beach, train rides, hang out at Braun Bay, see water...

Every summer we come to Winnipesaukee, last year we stayed in Wolfeboro. The views of the lake from there where amazing. One afternoon we had a picnic from the park at the Wolfeboro town docks and it was great! My husband and I even went out on paddle boards, it was a delightful day. The boards we rented are from...

We were in the Weirs Beach area on a three-day getaway in mid October when pretty much was closed down. We picked the brochure at the Weirs Beach pier about the lake cruise. It was a spectacular day, sunny, clean and warm and the lake was as smooth as glass. The MS Mount Washington was huge, by lake standards, and... More

Loved the town and all the little shops and cafes. We took a boat ride on the lake that was a lot of fun. We were able to see many of the islands and some of the wealthy estates on those islands. The lake is the largest in New Hampshire and you could spend weeks exploring the whole area!

So many cool little towns to wander thru around this lake. The lake has some fantastic views is a nice drive. We stopped at Weirs Beach and there was plenty to do here from the scenic railroad to arcades.

In July, We drove around the lake and took in all the scenic vistas. We especially enjoyed the North Eastern views across the lake with mountains as a back drop. There were many activities, restaurants and shopping experiences. Too many to list, can't wait to return.

I've been vacationing at Lake Winnepesaukee since I was three. So sixty years later, it is still the high point of my year when I can float on my back and stare up at the pine trees against the blue sky. There are very populated sides of the lake, from center harbor to Meredith and then on to the weirs.... More

NH is a funny state- very free and independent. Has some "interesting" areas with bikers and rednecks, but also some beautiful parts. I spent many childhood summers in Moultonborough along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. We stayed in Suissvale, which is now a private community. Love love love the lake, perfect for swimming, canoing, kayaking, boating, waterskiing, or just sunning... More

It was lovely cloudy day when we went there and it was so beautiful! Cruising on Winnipesaukee Belle is the best way to enjoy the lake. Worth to visit!
