Default Winnisquam

has an awesome public launch ramp. Parking is limited so get there just after the fish boats leave but before the day crowd. There is an awesome sand bar next to the bridge. If it rains, the sand bar crowd ducks under the bridge!

Newfound Lake has a nice launch ramp at Wellington State Park. Plenty of parking! Very clean lake, very few rocks. Lots of rafting.

Ossipee Lake is also very clean. I have not been boating there in years. It use to have accomodations at Totem Pole park. Not sure if it is still there.

Squam is mentioned above. The Squam lake property owners are still fuming about the public dock and still insist the boaters introduced the milfoil. What they don't believe is that they may be the one to bring it in on one of their own boats. I'd stay away from the properties as you boat. Great lake for pontooning and because of rocks, I would change to an aluminum prop if you have an SS.

Kanasaka, and Opechee are great lakes for waterskiing and fishing, little else.

Wicwas has a diving cliff at one end. There is an island in the middle of the lake that kind of push boaters within the 150' rule. Most people ignore it but respect passage.
