My advice, and I'm sure most will agree, is get a good chart, and spend some time with it each night before you head out, planning your course. Lake Winni is funny...you could swear you're in open water...no land anywhere near by, and come upon a rock shoal instantly.
Although the lake can be great fun, it can very unforgiving to someone not familiar with it.
Even if you are running with a GPS, I still strongly recommend a chart.
Also...ask a lot of questions...people are often quick to disclose their own favorite little spot to drop anchor, and swim/read/nap/lunch...whatever. I wish you well...
By the way...for me anyway, on a weekday (and only a weekday) Johnson's Cove is a great spot.

I have the Bizer chart for the Lake and I have a Garmin Nuvi 550 GPS with the Lake Winnipesaukee map loaded into it. I am planning on wearing Life Vests this weekend since the water is so cold.
I thank you for the suggestion on Johnson's Cove and I have it circled on the Bizer chart.
Your suggestions are well taken. Thanks.
