Islands break up the view across New Hampshire’s largest lake, giving a cruise the feel of a series of small discoveries. For a day ashore, Ellacoya State Park in Gilford offers a beach on the southwest side with mountains across the water.
On the water
Plan your lake day
Use Ellacoya for a picnic and swim, then take a shoreline drive toward one of the lake towns. For a boating day, choose a route among islands near your launch, mark the turns on a local chart and allow time to return along a familiar course.
Field notes
Before you go
New Hampshire uses distinctive red and black spar markers, including markers with white bands. Review the state’s buoy guide and take a chart that shows the local hazards before taking out a rental boat.
