It’s owned and maintained by the Windward Harbor Association. That’s the cove we are on and it never gets old checking it out. It’s really beautiful.

Oh, that's right. I think Peter was the area developer, right?

Yep. Really nice community/setup.

Always loved that place, it's beautiful.

There's a similar structure called the Boldt Yacht House in Alexandria Bay, NY/1000 Islands (an easy and pretty 7ish hour drive from Winni) that's still in use as a boat house and contains an impressive boat collection that's open to the public. It's a great way to see how the Swallow Boat house used to be used. 1000 Islands is a place any Winnipesaukee fan would love too.

Anyone care to suggest the simplest/safest route from the Weirs?

I spend most on my boating time on the southern half of the lake and havent been up that way in years.

Thanks
