New Hampshire, The White Mountains and the Lake Winnepesaukee Area. Like so many place names in New England, Lake Winnipesaukee is an Indian name, and its common meaning is smile of the great spirit. Native people had been living on the lake for 10,000 years before any settlers came. Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in New Hampshire and one of the deepest. It's one of many in the beautiful Lakes region of New Hampshire. At 72 square miles and a shoreline full of inlets, at first glance it looks less like a big lake and, more like a bunch of islands. But nestled in among these inlets are; quaint towns, homely
coffee shops, fine
restaurants, and zillions of things to do year 'round! Plenty of hiking trails,
bike rides, relaxing beaches, scenic drives, as well as boating, canoeing, fishing, and more. Lake Winnipesaukee, and Winnisquam Lake, and its surrounding towns, can take you a month of Sundays to fully explore and appreciate. Towns like Weirs Beach, Meredith, and
Center Harbor, Alton Bay, Wolfeboro, and Moultonboro - each different, but each warm and friendly. This is an area to take your time exploring, and let the hours tick slowly by. Here are a few suggestions during your visit with us. WHITE MOUNTAINS REGION FALL FOLIAGE AND SCENIC DRIVES. Franconia Notch State Park Franconia and Lincoln, NH

trip. Add extra distance if you take the cross-country
ski west loop intersecting at the UNH trail. Deer Brook Road Location: 6 miles west on Kancamagus Highway from Conway (through the Covered Bridge). There is no sign that labels the Deer Brook Road though. Park at the
