Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire | |
| The name has been translated as "smile of the Great Spirit," and while the lake's irregular shoreline might suggest a wry grin rather than a sunny smile, the lake's large size would certainly do the Great Spirit justice. | ||
|
The largest of the lakes in New Hampshire's Lakes Region is grand indeed: 28 miles long, close to 300 miles of shoreline, 72 square miles of water to swim in or boat on, and almost 300 islands. Summer is when the lake is busiest with swimmers, boaters, water-skiers, and the like, but winter snows draw crowds to the Gunstock ski area in Gilford near the lake's shore. The lake's favorite towns are Laconia, Weirs Beach and Wolfeboro. |
