Lake Winnisquam is the fourth-largest lake entirely within New Hampshire, covering 4,214 acres with almost 30 miles of shoreline. This triangular-shaped lake is located in Belknap County in the central Lakes Region, surrounded by the communities of Meredith, Laconia, Sanbornton, Belmont, and Tilton. With a maximum depth of 155 feet and an elevation of 482 feet, Lake Winnisquam offers year-round fishing opportunities in its clear waters. The lake is part of the Winnipesaukee River watershed, with the river both entering the lake at its eastern corner and flowing south out of its southern corner, eventually joining the Merrimack River.
