So where are the sandbars?

JasonG · 06-21-2015, 10:01 AM

Just got back up from 5 years in FL. First thing we did was buy a house in NH. Second thing we did was buy a boat and take it to Lake Winni last week.....we really missed this place.

So we plan on heading up to the lake once a week this summer for day trips. Likely they will all be mid week trips. I am hoping to find some decent sandbars where boaters hang out. We usually launch from Meredith.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks!
Jason

The 3 main sandbars are: the one in Paugus Bay near the Margate, in Alton right by the entrance to West Alton Marina across from Sleepers Is and the one in Braun Bay.

And it's amazing that all those boats, of all sizes, and full of partying folks, all have onboard toilet facilities. Tell me this is so, right????
