There's no question about the significant contribution tourists make to New Hampshire's economy, but for many years we've considered September to be the best month of the "summer" season. After Labor Day both the roads and the lake are much less crowded, yet the weather is usually still warm. Before we retired, we always took the week of Labor Day for vacation because it was so quiet compared to the summer months. Now, we look forward to the entire month of September each year as a time when we can enjoy the warm weather and the lake without the summer crowds. For those reasons, the best time of the year for us on the lake is right now!
