The New Hampshire Lakes Region is a famously welcoming, year-round destination anchored by towns of Meredith and Wolfeboro at either end of Lake Winnipesaukee. 

In summer and fall, Meredith visitors can explore the lake by boat, kayak, or paddleboard, while Wolfeboro offers charming beaches and scenic biking along the Cotton Valley Rail Trail. Both towns feature vibrant downtowns with shops, galleries, and dining options.  

Winter transforms the region into a haven for snowshoeing, cross-country and downhill skiing at nearby Gunstock Mountain, and ice fishing, with trails and frozen lakes providing plenty of outdoor opportunities. Whether enjoying summer’s warm waters or winter’s crisp landscapes, the Lakes Region offers activities for all seasons. 

Laconia and Weirs Beach offer vacationers a traditional lakeside experience complete with a sandy shoreline, a vintage boardwalk, and accessible arcades on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. 

Located nearby in the Lakes Region, Moultonborough is home to the historic Lucknow estate, where the principal attraction is the mountaintop Castle in the Clouds.
