Northernmost Sandbar/Shallow Swimming

thinkxingu · 07-27-2016, 12:06 PM

Hi All,
I've been to all the popular sandbars and really like being able to stand while my chillens swim--other than the Tuftonboro beach, are there any shallow swimming areas in the northern part of the lake? I haven't found any, but I've not gone everywhere either. If you'd rather PM me, please do.

Cheers!

Yes. I was thinking more towards Moultonborough Bay north.

Let's not Forget "Duck Itch" at these shallow water anchorages. Just sayin...

Patrician shores in center harbor , watch the markers to get in and out. Trexlers sand bar off Long Island bridge great during the week , check 19 mile bay as well some areas 3'-4' feet. Enjoy

If you've been on the lake for years you'll get immune. My whole family is. We actually had a friend up who got it and we thought it was a myth until I looked it up. They never spent any time in lakes so they were fresh prey.
