With so many activities and recreational opportunities for all members of the family, New Hampshire's Lakes Region is the destination of choice for anyone who knows how bountiful this area of the country is. Wintertime is no exception. Here are just a few activities that give you more reasons to consider Lakes Region real estate.

Ice Fishing on Lake Winnipesaukee

When the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee have frozen still, you'll find ice-fishing huts dotting the surface. You'll need to bring your own gear, but there are bait shops around the lake, including in Meredith. Ice fishing is a favorite pastime of folks in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Snowmobiling Around Lake Winnipesaukee

Snowmobiling is popular for residents and vacationers around Lake Winnipesaukee. Kids under 16 will have to ride with a parent at most rental places, so be prepared to share the ride.

Cross-County Skiing in the Lakes Region

Homes in the Lakes Region are close to two major cross-country ski centers in New Hampshire. Gunstock Mountain Resort XC in Gilford offers 50 kilometers of cross-country and snowshoe trails. Nordic Skier Wolfeboro XC in Wolfeboro boasts 30 kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails. Cross-country skiing is an ideal way to enjoy the outdoors on trails that wind through woods and snow-blanketed meadows.

Winterfest at Squam Lake

Every winter on Squam Lake, the Squam Lakes Association hosts Winterfest. It's a day of fun for the whole family, and is always well attended by residents who live in the area. A gigantic bonfire takes center stage, but there are plenty of activities, including a large artificial ice skating rink for hockey, ice skating on Squam Lake itself, a chili cook off, and winter mini-golf. Lake Winnipesaukee real estate is in hot demand not only due to these fun things to do in the Lakes Region, but because of the friendly community that comes with it.
