It’s a popular theme, this side of the pandemic, to say “welcome back.” But like most of us in the Lakes Region… we never left.

Lake Winnipesaukee can deceive you at times. For a body of water billed as New Hampshire’s largest lake — and a glance at the map will confirm that it is, no doubt — the lake can feel much smaller than those maps suggest.

Having a primary home, or a second or third can make summer or long weekends best. In Laconia, you can still have waterfront lake living for well under a million dollars.

Whether you’re heading out for an afternoon cocktail party or a two- week offshore voyage, it’s important to think through and write down your meal plan ahead of time.

As we all adjust to a new lifestyle that may include social distancing, a great way to get out into the world in a safe and responsible way is with a family boat.

As boaters everywhere do their best to navigate these uncharted waters, we’ll do our best to serve as a reliable resource in answering some questions about boating during the coronavirus.

You may be a year-round resident or a second-home resident. This may be a vacation or long weekend. No matter, we welcome you and are excited that you have found our pages.

The Lakes Region offers so many outdoor activities, on and off the water. Even with the pandemic, there are still a variety of things to do… in a day.
