I often rent a cabin on that side of the lake too. Right across the water from Ambrose Cove on Moultonboro Neck.

I agree with what's been said. Learn the markers and you'll be fine.

I can get from that area over to Meredith Bay in about 30 minutes if I rush. Most of the time it took me over two hours because I didn't wanna rush. I do that all year long so when I get to Winnie, it's all about taking the scenic route.

Generally, If I'm heading to Meredith or Laconia, I'll go under the Long Island Bridge, over to Big Bear, Past Gov, Island. If I'm going over to Wolfeboro, Winter Harbor or Alton Bay, I'll go out to the end of Long Island, then navigate from there.

Having said all that, there's plenty to explore on the quite side of the lake. Take a sunset cruise down to Lee's Mills, and you'll see what I mean.

Suggestions: Get a paper copy of the Bizer Map of the lake. Also, if you've got a Garmin GPS, some of the lower-end auto models have pretty good maps of Winnipesaukee available as download for free. Pretty cool.

Good luck and I'm positive you'll have a great time!
