Lake Winnipesaukee, NH
Some lakes are for relaxing, some are for outdoor adventure, and some are for everything. Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire’s largest lake, covers over 44,000 acres with 250 islands, inviting the curious to discover hidden coves, sandy beaches, and postcard-worthy vistas.
Summer brings sailing regattas, kayaking, and lively waterfront towns like Meredith, Wolfeboro, and Weirs Beach, while autumn offers brilliant foliage cruises.
The 81-mile scenic Loop Drive circles the lake, or take a sunset dinner cruise on the historic M/S Mount Washington cruise ship which has been ferrying passengers since 1872.
Winter
In winter, the lake transforms into a hub for ice fishing, snowmobiling, and the annual Winter Carnival in Feburary.
