Default ........ Ellecoya State Beach and RV Campground

Lake Winnipesaukee has a total of one state park which is called a 'State Beach and RV Park.' Lake Winnipesaukee has 182-miles of shoreline, and 72-square miles of surface water, and the lone state park, Ellecoya, occupies just 65-acres.

Here's a super website that shows the one and only Lake Winnipesaukee state park which has been in operation, on a seasonal basis, since sometime in the early 1960's.

I keep hoping that a community sailing facility/program similar to Community Sailing on the Charles River in Boston will get built on the totally undeveloped Ellacoya beach that's on the other side of the Poor Farm Brook from the swimming/bathing beach, close to the RV campground ..... which is isolated from the Ellecoya state beach by the large Poor Farm Brook which has no foot bridge spanning it.

That would be a super-duper spot for a community sailing program because it fronts on a big, open, windy area of the lake complete with big water, big sky, big view, big wind, big natural sandy beach ........ a sail-boater's big dream location ...... big hubba-hubba ..... "The Lake Winnipesaukee Community Sailing Centre" ....... or something!
