THROUGH THE SEASONS
Known as “America’s Oldest Summer Resort,” Wolfeboro sits on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, the third largest lake in New England. The warmer months are best enjoyed on the banks of New Hampshire’s largest lake, where guests can appreciate the spectacular views of mountain ranges across the water. The surrounding fabulous hiking trails, beaches, museums, and concert venues only enhance the experience.
While the summer is a beautiful time to visit, Wolfeboro is truly a year-round gem not to miss. During the off-season, Wolfeboro is a cozy community of a little more than 6,000 year-round residents. When the weather warms up (or the ice fishing derby is happening!), the population swells five-fold as second homeowners return to their vacation properties and visitors come to enjoy the area’s stunning beauty and plentiful year-round activities.
SPRING
Spring brings a gradual thaw that culminates in the official Lake Winnipesaukee “ice out” declaration. This is a quiet time of year in the Lakes Region as the snow melts, flowers gradually unfurl and the water begins to warm up.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:
Maple sugaring
Antiquing
Lake Winnipesaukee “Ice Out” Contest
Early-season hiking or late-season snowshoeing
SUMMER
Summer brings a bustle of activity to Wolfeboro as summer residents return and visitors flock to enjoy the lakes and mountains. Wolfeboro’s old-fashioned 4th of July parade (including our favorite – the Lawn Chair Brigade) is a particular highlight.

Boating, fishing, wakesurfing, paddleboarding, waterskiing, swimming, Hiking and biking, Barn dinners at The Barn at Pickering House, shopping, boat-building and museums
FALL
Warm days and cool nights bring a blaze of color to the trees by mid-October. Fall is still high season in the Lakes Region as visitors flock to the area to enjoy the scenery.
