A week at the lake

[Juiced06GTO]

I love the north part of the lake. We rented in Alton this year as the place we stayed in and loved last year couldn't handle the additional family coming with us this year. I am a little bummed since we won't have the long scenic boat rides to get everywhere this year. I put over 30 hours on the boat in 7 days last summer just running all over the lake during our vacation! I love that the graveyard keeps most people out of the north side of the lake haha!

I think you have it backwards, far fewer challenges boating on the south side of the lake and you can easily cover more miles of water per day. On an average boating day we will leave Paugas Bay, hit Meredith, then down to Wolfeboro, on to Alton Bay and maybe pit stop at the West Alton sandbar on the return trip to Lakeport.

When the traffic is modest and the wind speed low, you can cover tons of miles in a day on the south side of the lake.

Now if you want to build your piloting skills, then you definitely want to boat on the north side of the lake. It will test your map and marker reading skills.

You don't head north of the grave yard much do you? Its a different lake up there, not so much about the miles covered, its time exploring! A sunset cruise up through Greens Basin and Lee's Mills is tough to match anywhere else on the lake aside from maybe the quick cruise through Sally's Gut.
