Lake Winnipesaukee, NH
Lake in Belknap County, New Hampshire. New Hampshire's largest lake at roughly 44,500 acres in the Lakes Region, a premier coldwater and warmwater fishery. It is the state's marquee landlocked salmon and lake trout water, with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department stocking salmon annually. Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and white perch are abundant in the bays and around the islands. Deep, clear water keeps salmon and lake trout active; ice fishing for salmon, lakers, and white perch is a major winter draw. Multiple public ramps ring the lake at Alton, Gilford, Meredith, and Wolfeboro.
