Boats: Lake Winnipesaukee, Squam, Sunapee and the other big lakes take full-size boats with developed ramps; many smaller ponds have only a hand-carry or cartop access. NH requires boater education for personal watercraft and for operators born after 1 Jan 1988.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at New Hampshire state parks (several on Winnipesaukee, Squam and the Connecticut Lakes) and White Mountain National Forest campgrounds along the trout streams.
