Spectacular and breathtaking, the Lakes Region with its crystal clear waters is truly the heart of New Hampshire. Clothed in the mysteries of the past and wrapped in the legends of yore, it instantly transports you to a world of incandescent color, superlative freshness, and enchanting purity. Nestling among the region’s 273 lakes and ponds with 72 miles of blue expanse is the 28-mile long Lake Winnipesaukee. Legend has it that when the great Indian chief Wonaton saw the sun’s golden rays dancing on the ‘Beautiful blue Waters of the High Place’, he deemed it a good omen and named it ‘Winnipesaukee’ meaning ‘Smile of the Great Spirit’.
