Enjoy the sunset from one
of New Hampshire's many lakes. |
The clear, cool water of central New Hampshire's lakes has long tempted families and group travelers to take a dip. But what surrounds the 70,000 acres of pristine waterways is equally refreshing. Historic villages, majestic mountains and classic attractions surround the area's 270+ lakes and ponds, infusing any gathering with culture and community.
Group accommodations range from the lakeside four-season resort, The Inn & Spa at Mills Falls for larger groups to intimate inns and bed and breakfasts.
At 72 square miles, Lake Winnie is the biggest in the state (and the sixth largest lake within U.S. borders), with 283 islands, 200 miles of shoreline, and group recreation ranging from train trips to fishing expeditions. If smaller is more your taste, Squam Lake, Newfound Lake, and Ossipee Lake are the spots for groups to kayak in peace, hear a loon's plaintive cry and enjoy a novel on a quiet dock after the reunion.
Though summer is an especially popular time to visit, the Lakes Region proffers pleasures and values every season. Meet in the Lakes Region all year long, and plan group horseback rides through the fall foliage, gather by an inn's toasty fire or embark on an antiquing excursion when spring flowers first flash their petals.
