How many islands are on the lake? 365? 274? Several different numbers are thrown around, many based on folklore.
This site has always used
Bizer's list of the islands on Lake Winnipesaukee as the official number posted on our homepage. The count was at 253 until recently but has now jumped to 258. From the Bizer website:
Quote:
In the summer of 2013, Ron Guilmette and his nephew took it upon themselves to kyack to all the islands and to photograph them. Ron added five islands to the list and offered corrections to the list as well.

Think about that. Ron and his nephew kayaked to 258 islands this summer! Anyone want to double-check his findings?
