In my youth we spent every summer in Alton (Echo Point) the old donut shop was the best. Many meals at the old "Dots" and Sandy Point. Spent way too many hours in the various game rooms on the pin ball machines,,,

But my favorite spot was Downings, loved the smell of the old "white gas and pre-mix" filling the old orange portable gas tanks meant fun was ahead!!! (we always had Glastrons with Evinrude outboards)

Alton is still my favorite part of the lake.

Spent my Summers as a kid in Robert's Cover Basin. I recall many meals at Dot's and Ruby's in New Durham, and Bailey's in Wolfeboro. Roller skating in Alton was also really fun. Hard to believe it's been nearly 40 years...
