Description
Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. Winnipesaukee is the third-largest lake in New England after Lake Champlain and Moosehead Lake.
Lake Winnipesaukee has been a tourist destination for more than a century, especially for residents escaping the summer heat of Boston and New York City. Lake Winnipesaukee is a popular getaway for celebrities, politicians, and families alike. The Native American name Winnipesaukee means either "smile of the Great Spirit" or "beautiful water in a high place."
Winnipesaukee is a glacial lake but an unusual one, since the last glaciation actually reversed the flow of its waters. Draining the central portion of New Hampshire, it once flowed southeast.
