About Lake Winnipesaukee

Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in New Hampshire and one of the most complicated outlines in the country: bays within bays, more than two hundred and fifty islands, and a shoreline so long that the boat that circles it, the M/S Mount Washington, has been making the trip since the 1870s in one hull or another.

Wolfeboro on the southeast shore claims to be the oldest summer resort in America, and the claim holds: the royal governor, John Wentworth, built his summer estate there in 1768, and people have been coming for the same reason since. Weirs Beach on the west side is the other pole — boardwalk, arcade, the bike rally in June.

The lake's year is measured by ice-out, the day the Mount Washington can once again reach all of its ports, announced each spring and bet on all winter. The name, in Abenaki, is usually given as "smile of the Great Spirit."

Why we cut this one
Boston's second-home lake, with more shoreline per square mile than almost anything we cut. The islands make it.
