Covering 4,237 acres, Winnisquam Lake is New Hampshire's fourth-largest lake located entirely within the state's borders. Nestled into New Hampshire's Lakes Region, Winnisquam Lake covers approx. 4237 Acres, with over 28 miles of shoreline. It is the fourth largest lake in NH, with its borders touching five New Hampshire towns. Fishing is one of the top events, as the lake is naturally and artificially stocked with bass, trout, and salmon. Whether you are competing in a tournament or just having a lazy day on the lake, the crystal-clear water will not disappoint. Ahern State Park, sharing shoreline with Winnisquam Lake, offers boat access for power and non-power boats.
