New Hampshire: Wolfeboro

Wolfeboro is quickly becoming one of the best lake towns in the Northeast. It’s about a two-hour drive from Boston and five from New York City. The town center of Wolfeboro is placed directly on Lake Winnipesaukee, which offers an expansive 72sqmi of water.

Your getaway in Wolfeboro will be filled with sunset swims at Brewster Beach, cooling off with an ice cream cone at Wolfeboro Dockside Grille & Dairy Bar, and relaxing beers at Lone Wolfe Brewing Company.

We recommend you treat yourself to a boat tour aboard the M/S Mount Washington, which has been giving tours for nearly 150 years, and if you’re looking for a charming place to stay, Pickering House Inn is just THE place!

  1. I can’t believe Lake George, New York wasn’t included in your nine best lake towns article. The cleanest and most stunning lake in the US. Thirty two miles of non polluted waters. Camping on the islands of the lake as well as many other local locations. Gourmet dining and many resorts, the most spectacular being the Sagamore Resort in beautiful Bolton Landing. Perhaps you should add this to your areas to explore in your next travel article,

    Sincerely,

    I come from Northern Michigan and this area, Copper Harbor, is 50 miles South from my home. Copper Harbor is actually at the very end of the state of Michigan. U.S. Highway 41 has a sign there that says that is the very end of Northern Michigan and that highway would run right into the water! This highway actually still runs south through many states and ends way down in Miami, Florida! Lake Superior is the” Big Lake” and it surrounds that peak of land that ends in Copper Harbor. Also located very near by is Fort Wilkens. It’s a very old Fort and a sight to see since they have restored it over the years to be the way it was when it was first built.

  3. My parent’s home was right on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, NH…with a beautiful view and lovely, friendly people!
    There’s nothing commercial, very historic and a wonderful place too live or visit!

  4. You obviously have not ever seen Lake Chatuge, nestled between Hiawassee, Ga. and Hayesville, NC. One of the prettiest lakes ever!
