Lake Winnipesaukee Rentals
( 03/14/2007 8:25 PM )
Growing up on Lake Winnipesaukee I was very spoiled. I did not appreciate the lake and its beauty until I moved out of NH. During the time away, I could not easily hop in my boat and leave the world behind. I was back in a year's time. If you are not ready to buy, a short term rental is the way to go. Please read this article about Lake Winnipesaukee and the many rental opportunities.

You may wonder why I have included a 116 acre lake in my preferred lake list. Well, for one it is located in Wolfeboro, where I was born and raised, two it is clean and great for waterskiing and three, it has direct boating access to Lake Wentworth and its great attributes. So it made the list.
