What's your favorite town on the Lake?

I'll use the original analogy, too. Meredith and Wolfeboro are great dates...but for a long-term relationship, I'll take Moultonboro. Doesn't have the flashy personality of the other towns, but it's steadfast, quiet, and beautiful. My spouse's family is on its fifth generation in Moultonboro, and I joined them in the early '70s.

When I started looking for lake towns to move to and live year-round, I received a LOT of great input from forum members about their towns and preferences. I ended up in Wolfeboro and absolutely love this town, but I like going to other towns around the lake too.

We have a great time driving around the lake and stopping at various towns for various reasons. (mostly food

In my mind the whole area around Lake Winnipesaukee is paradise. (except for maybe Laconia). And I will say this...after taking a vacation in St. John in the Caribbean this winter, I had no problem returning to this beautiful area. It's the first time I can remember when I didn't get the post-vacation blues.

Wolfeboro would be my pick. I spent 15 summers of my life as a camper/counselor at Camp Bernadette on Lake Wentworth for 8 weeks every summer. It was the highlight of my year. Each time I drive by what is now The Front Porch I smile just thinking of Bailey's chocolate chip ice cream.

I spent 5 years as a camper and those memories are just one of many reasons I love Wolfeboro.

I have to go with Moultonboro. It's where the family's house is. I really like the northern part of the lake.

While I live in Moultonberry and love my town, I think downtown Wolfeboro offers the best vacation area experience.

We vacation in the BVI and feel the same way! Winnipesaukee is paradise indeed...the name on our cottage is "Livin' the Dream." : )

I love the Alton and Alton Bay.

As my user name suggests, I like Lake Winnipesaukee and have been coming here since I was a newborn, literally the first summer I was around.

I love being "Upthesaukee" full time now, and I love Alton Bay. I enjoy going to Meredith and Wolfeboro but hate the traffic. Center Harbor is great, but you have to go through Wolfeboro or Meredith to get there, a pain in the summer. Moultonboro and Melvin Village areas are great, and love to boat that way. Gilford is great for shopping, and we eat there a lot.

What I like about Alton Bay is it is still small...I like that...and don't mind going off to do shopping as in Walmart or Kohls, or any of the big box stores.

So when you see the red and white 25' Mariah bowrider going by, you will see "Upthesaukee Too" on the side. Give a wave, and like others say on this forum, I will wave back.
