Welcome to Lakes

You don’t have to listen too closely to hear the roar of engines in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire! Home to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, catch a heartpounding NASCAR or IndyCar race at the mile-long track. In June, marvel as thousands of motorcyclists descend on the city of Laconia for its annual Motorcycle Week rally. However, there are plenty of ways to avoid the noise! Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire’s largest, serves as a peaceful alternative to experience the area. This 72-mile long summer haven provides endless boating, waterskiing, and fishing opportunities. Take the Lakes Tour, a byway circling the lake, for the best view while sampling the local flavor of lake towns like Weirs Beach. Whether it be racing or relaxing, you’ll love the Lakes Region!
