The New Hampshire Lakes Region, with its impressive natural beauty, has long been a popular holiday destination. The great expanse of Lake Winnipesaukee is the real centrepiece with its 183 miles of shoreline and more than 300 islands. This is a spot for hikers, watersports enthusiasts, fisherfolk, or just those who want to spend time in nature.
