You could do this at almost any of the town docks around the lake. What is your departure piont?

The Wolfeboro Town Docks provide a great place to do what you want to do. Adjacent to the docking area there is a large Town park, complete with benches and a gazebo. And, as an added bonus, across the parking lot there are public restrooms.

Once you have had lunch, and feel the need to "walk it off", one block inland is the downtown complete with stores, more restaurants, and more restrooms.

If you need more food staples, there is a food store about 100 yards from the dock.

Not a bad place to include in your vacation itinerary.

Also, as you leave Wolfeboro Town Docks there are several places to buy fuel and other marine supplies.

I second Ragged Island. The island is open to the public and a new dock has been installed - although it offers space for a limited number of boats. The island is level and offers great swimming, trails, and picnic spots.

Good thing he is coming after Labor Day. We just went by the W. Town Docks and there were 13 boats waiting to dock.

We just got back from lunch at Dockside. We watched several boats wait and then leave without ever getting a spot. Crazy busy out there today.

Yes, Aqua, but I have seen it a lot busier!!

BroadHopper · 08-31-2013, 08:00 PM

is another great spot for a picnic lunch. The park next to the Meredith town docks has picnic tables. So do the Center Harbor docks.

After this weekend you can park anywhere you want, upside down and backwards, and no one will notice.

There is a little known public beach on Cow Island too (near the Hole in the Wall). You would have to drop anchor and swim in.

Is that the one owned by the town of Tuftonboro? I never really knew where it was, just that they own one.

Peter · 09-02-2013, 12:37 PM

Yes, owned by Tuftonboro I believe. Friends checked it out this summer and said it was hard to find since it is packed in between two properties and the sign was knocked down. Wasn't well kept up. I would guess that the Cow Island residents aren't rushing to have people come us it. Heard there were trails to walk too.
