As one of New England’s largest lakes, Lake Winnipesaukee is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It is tucked between Manchester and White Mountains, so you can expect spectacular views from every corner. The best way to explore this massive lake is to go on a cruise. Unsurprisingly, plenty of boat rental services are available in the area. Of course, fishing is also a favorite activity on the lake. So, pack your fishing gear and get ready to catch bass, trout, salmon, and other types of fish. In the scenic vicinity of the lake, you can also combine adventure with luxury and find one of the several glamping spots.
