Lakes Region
An all-season destination, the Lakes Region is home to 70,000 acres of pristine waterways surrounded by mountains, woods, farmlands, quiet villages and busy resort towns. The largest of the region’s 273 lakes and ponds is Lake Winnipesaukee, encompassing 72 square miles, 274 islands and a 200-mile shoreline. Other popular waterways are Squam Lake, Winnisquam Lake, the Merrimack River, and Newfound Lake. Water enthusiasts enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and waterskiing. On Winnipesaukee, cruise aboard the M/S Mount Washington, or the M/V Sophie C Mail Boat, the oldest floating U.S. Post Office.
Hikers can explore trails of all skill levels, and enjoy incredible views from Mount Major in Alton and Rattlesnake Mountain in Holderness.
Attractions abound in the region. Picturesque New England towns such as Bristol, Meredith, Plymouth, and Wolfeboro feature unique shops and restaurants. Families enjoy Squam Lake Science Center in Holderness, The Loon Center and Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, The Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro, The NH Farm Museum in Milton, The Ashland Railroad Station Museum in Ashland, a restored Blacksmith Shop in Union, and the Antique Boat Museum in Wolfeboro.
Weirs Beach offers nightlife and entertainment, including one of the last drive-in movie theaters in the U.S. In June, motorcycle enthusiasts gather for Laconia Motorcycle Week, a New Hampshire tradition and one of the top three rallies in the United States.
Autumn features festivals and foliage, winter features ice fishing, ice sailing, skating and world-class skiing (downhill and cross-country).
The region’s central location also makes it an ideal base for day trips to visit other regions.
Maria Hennessy photographed her family floating down the Bear Camp River at Whit’s End Campground on a beautiful summer’s day.

to be discovered…Mill About Take a tour of Laconia’s Belknap Mill, the oldest unaltered brick textile mill in the nation. Built in 1823, a historically themed gift shop offers items like old-fashioned toys, folk art, jams, coffees and textile products. The mill is part of Laconia’s historic district, where the Riverwalk, a one-mile walking trail along the Winnipesaukee River, takes you past other historic sites like the Busiel Mill, the Laconia Public Library, the Masonic Temple and the Laconia Passenger Station.
Explore a Castle! Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough sits high in the Ossipee Mountain Range and offers dramatic panoramic views from “the clouds.” Built in 1914, the Arts and Crafts style mansion is a stunning architectural specimen, but the castle also offers 45 miles of hiking trails on 5,000 acres to explore with a short walk that leads to a cascading waterfall.
Go wild! The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness is part zoo, part educational facility and ALL about the wild. The center features animal exhibits and trails, even an underground exhibit (where you can travel down a human-size chipmunk burrow). Meet their resident mountain lion, black bears, a bobcat, owls and other raptors. If you’re spending some time in the lakes region with children, this is a perfect stop!

It could save your life!BRAKE FOR MOOSE
Today, in spite of a limited annual hunt, moose are found throughout the state, and so are moose-car collisions. We want you to enjoy
traveling in New Hampshire. Here are some things you
need to know to reduce the likelihood of serious injury and
extensive damage to your vehicle.• The average moose weighs 1,000 lbs! That’s 4 times
the size of a big trophy white-tailed deer.• The hood of your vehicle fits neatly under the belly of
the moose. • Moose are a safety concern primarily from May to
October.• Don’t assume the moose has seen you and will wait
until you pass to cross the road.
