Long Island Bridge Campground

The Great Outdoors

The primary reason to visit the Lakes Region is, of course, to spend some time on one of New Hampshire’s beautiful waterways. Lake Winnipesaukee is just south of Long Island Bridge Campground, but there are tons of other options if you’re looking to get away from the crowds or just need a little variety. In any case, rent a kayak from a nearby town (Wolfeboro is a great option), as this is the ideal way to explore the many hidden coves in these massive lakes.Spectacular hiking can be found just north of Lake Winnipesaukee, in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Many of New England’s tallest peaks – Mount Washington, Mount Lafayette, and Mount Adams are located in this mountain range. Climbing Mount Washington is a right of passage for New Englanders, with several different trails of varying difficulty leading to its peak. If an all-day climb doesn’t feel right for you, there’s also the option of taking the famous cog railway to the summit – a much more relaxing and truly unique experience.For a less intense hiking experience, check out Mount Kearsarge to the southwest of Lake Winnipesaukee. It’s the 38th-tallest peak in New England at 2,937 feet but is more suitable for those unaccustomed to the grueling climbs that are typical of the White Mountains. On a clear day, you can see the Boston skyline, almost 80 miles away, from its summit.Wildlife enthusiasts should check out the Loon Center on the south side of town. The majestic bird is quite common in the Lakes Region, and the center has informative displays about their habitat and behavior along with some hiking trails where you can spot a few of them yourself. If you’re camping with an RV in the height of summer, try to spot breeding pairs in their nests.
