Skating on lake(s)
Often the surface on the lakes is less than ideal for skating; besides the texture being affected by snow and thawing and re-freezing, there are often cracks, etc. Best skating is usually in more confined areas that have set up nicely and where snow hasn't messed up the surface. Also, snow mobiles often traverse skating areas. Coves, smaller lakes, ponds, have best opportunities for those (rare) years when you can just go and go without too much worry.
I'm familiar with Lake Wentworth and the Wolfeboro area in general; Winnipesaukee different ballgame entirely...maybe Winter Harbor could be good. haven't tried there. There is a rink in Wolfeboro too, with open skating hours and rentals.
This year looks promising as its getting cold this week.... maybe some ice skating during Christmas week?
