Lake Winnipesaukee in the Fall: A Different Side of Lake Living

Summer gets most of the attention on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Boats fill the water, vacation homes are busy, and communities around the lake are packed with visitors.

But if you want to see what Lake Winnipesaukee is really like beyond the summer season, October is a great time to visit.

The crowds begin to thin, the foliage starts changing, and the communities surrounding the lake take on a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.

And for anyone considering purchasing a lake home, that's valuable information.
