My family has a house on great pond, belgrade lakes ME. Try to get up their 2 weeks this summer. Sebago bigger?

Venture further west to Torch Lake, but maybe before 4th of July if you're not into pee water.

todd

would have to say it is great lake with the locks and long lake it can take all day to go from 1 end to the other and back also a good take is lake sacandaga ny

1000 Islands/St. Lawrence River. Absolutely beautiful! Make sure you have GPS or follow someone that knows the area or your drink won't be the only the on the rocks.

How big a boat? Looks like everything in your signature says sold. If you come up to Winni, have mufflers installed. I would say that would get you in trouble much more than the speed limit will. In fact, I have yet to see somebody being pulled over or ticketed for speeding, but have on numerous occasions seen people get ticketed or pulled over for noise. If you figure out a weekend to come up, shoot me a PM.

You could spend a whole summer up here and still not do everything this area has to offer! Watch out for the water police in Abay!

I only have experience with Winnipesaukee. Very nice lake, one of the best I've been on. My great uncle and aunt built a house there on the lake in the 80's. They have a pontoon boat and had fun exploring the area.

Cayuga lake, Seneca Lake. Come up in July and do the ROPA battleship run. 40 mile freshwater lakes and they are twins

winni is a great lake but to many rules and to many rocks get a chart if you go, sebago much more forgiving lake

Rhode Island coast line lots of harbors to checkout

2003 20 Outlaw small block thru hull not too loud still think mufflers on winni?

I've been up to Cayuga lake, spent some time in Binghamton work related. Are there any restaurants with docks? I'm going to look at chart of winni, my brothers in Claremont NH

Yes, and I have proof. LOL.

Bizer's Paper, Laminated, and Electronic maps are real good of the lake.

Just throw some slip ons on it, you will be fine.

The saint Lawrence should be #1 on your list we stayed on wellesley island at the state park for the last 15 years 2 weeks at a time until my grandparents got a seasonal spot at a campground but the state park has very nice new cabins for rent and the docks right there this summer was also our 1st summer at Seneca for the battle ship run and it was a great time ether way you can't go wrong

Looking around Definately want to hit Seneca for battleship run! Where's best to stay?

ABay and the St. Lawrence should be #1 by far. Hands down the best scenery on any inland body of water in the US. Lake George is decent as are Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. The finger lakes scenery gets kinda boring after a while since you are in a glacial made bowel. Allan H Treman State Marine Pk in Ithaca has a fantastic launch facility and parking. There is the Boatyard Grill across the channel with docks. The other problem with the two finger lakes is unless you know the little nooks and crannies its hard to locate the waterside bars and restaurants. The lakes are VERY deep but if you hit something its going to be a rock. Hanging with some locals is the way to go. I usually run on Oneida Lake which is boring so pass on that along with Great Sacandaga. Good luck.

I've been on the shores of the big finger lakes. But I've only boated on keuka lake near Penn Yan. A family friend owned the Viking Resort on Keuka, its a mixture of hotel rooms and a few cabins. Since my family had free cabins on that lake we stayed there. Unfortunately Kenny died a few years ago. Not that we don't like his son, we are not really friends with him. Guess taking a long time to say, we won't be going to Keuka anymore.

Another thought here. Are you planning on doing this on weekends or week long trips? I can tell you if these are weekend getaways, you are going to get the sh1t beat out of you on Lake Winnipesaukee in a 20 foot boat during the summer. During the week you will love it. Also, before 4th of July the lake is much less busy but the water is cooler and after labor day is some of the best boating you can have, and the water is still nice and warm. Weekends during July and August can best be described as full contact boating.

Lake Michigan
Lake Huron
St. Clair River
Lake St. Clair
Detroit River
Lake Erie

You know Lake George has a 45 mph speed limit, enforced sound limits and you need to pass an inspection and get a special permit to boat on the lake. That lake is definitely not on my bucket list!
