Winniman:

The Moultonborough/Center Harbor side of the lake is another nice side of the lake. We have been coming here for 20+ years in a private rental and now I live here full-time.

There is also another rental office in Moultonborough by the name of Preferred Vacation Rentals. They have a wide variety of rentals. Their telephone number is 603 253-7811 and their e-mail address is www.nhpreferredrentals.com. There's also a multi-level motel in Center Harbor facing the water - this was just done over and the name escapes me for the moment so will find out next time I go to town.

There are lots of different restaurants in Sandwich (inland), Moultonborough, Center Harbor, and Meredith and plenty to do. The proximity of Weirs Beach,
Sandwich, Holderness (where parts of On Golden Pond were filmed and there's an absolutely wonderful boat tour which takes you to various spots in the movie - see our On Golden Pond thread) have neat little stores in all towns for both adults and kids. There is a public beach in Center Harbor and one down the Moultonborough Neck Road. The one on the Neck Road near Trexler's Marina requires a parking permit but you can get one easily at the Moultonborough Town Hall for $10 which lasts for 2 years. There's also a public boat launching nearby (don't know if you have a boat).

You're also near Tuftonborough and Wolfeboro (the latter also with neat stores). If you're up for a little (hour and a half) drive, you can head to the coast to see Portsmouth, NH or the seacoast in Maine (Wells, York, Kennbunkport, Ogunquit). North of Moultonborough is Conway and the White Mountains. South of Moultonborough on Exit #20 off Route #93 are outlet stores in Tilton. Lake links on this website also show attractions and event calendars.

jkjoshuatree: The name of the trail on Route #11 by one of the scenic views is the Mount Major Trail. See many hikers there on my way to Alton and Rochester.

Anyway, WinniMAN, should you decide to come here, you'll have a wonderful time and you'll become even more fond of our "treasure" - Lake Winni!
