New Hampshire Lakes at a Glance
Appropriately dubbed the New Hampshire Lakes region, this area of the state is
home to Lake
Winnipesaukee, the sixth largest natural lake in the United
States. Stretching 26 mi (42 km) in length, this lake also contains over 250
habitable islands, making it a prime vacation destination. Several towns are found
on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, including Meredith,
Center Harbor,
Moultonborough
and Wolfeboro,
each offering New England charm, unique accommodations and trendy restaurants.
Visitors to the area enjoy taking the Winnipesaukee
Scenic Railroad, which offers one- and two-hour scenic excursions along the lakeshore between Meredith and Weirs
Beach. The Belknap
Mill in the city of Laconia is a popular attraction, as it is the oldest unaltered
brick textile mill in the United States. The Lakes region also boasts several
annual events, including the Sandwich
Fair, which takes place in Center
Sandwich in October, and the summer-long Great
Waters Music Festival in Wolfeboro.
