jkjoshuatree and WinniMAN and others: There's also a hiking trail up in Holderness on the way to Squam Lake and Holderness Center - forget where it exactly is, but it's on the right - there is a parking lot to leave your car on the left side of the road and then you cross the road to begin the trail. You climb (it seems like forever) but when you get to the top, the view is incredible of the lake and the islands. Worth hauling a camera along with you. It's kind of a rough climb because at points you are crawling over tree roots and as my aunt said on the way back down when we met hikers coming up the trail "It's a great view if you live long enough to get there!"
Also, WinniMAN: there are little trolley tours here and there during the summer (Meredith has one and so does Wolfeboro), outstanding summer theater (in Meredith at the Lakes Region Playhouse) and at the Weirs Beach at the old Dexter Shoe complex (on the left after you cross the bridge), etc.
Better go watch a copy of "On Golden Pond" and get nostalgic for Winni.
