Winni by Air

PaulH · 06-13-2018, 09:44 AM

Every summer for the past 26 years, we have been flying up from Arlington, VA to Winnipesaukee to stay on Sandy Island. The docks for the camp boat are on the opposite side of Winni, in Mirror Lake, so we used Laconia only once, when water taxi service from Fay's Boathouse direct to the island was available and affordable. Moultonboro Airpark is fairly convenient to the Sandy dock, so that's what we use, with Laconia as a bad-weather backup. For the first 10 years or so, we used Lakes Region Airpark, and I am still sad about it being closed as it embodied so much of the soul of Winnipesaukee, with bright blue water all around, a seaplane dock, and the legacy of the Horn family.
