Winnisquam Open Water
Winnisquam has only a few spots of open water during a winter like this one.
North of the sand bar, which is just north of the bridge, the ice is locked in all the way to the upper end of the lake. The open water and caution area is where the Winnipesaukee river comes into the lake in Laconia near Bartlet beach.
Caution is the word south of the sand bar and around the bridge. The ice 100 yards south of the bridge and right up to Mohawk Island is typically safe.
The other caution zone is the west side of Mohawk between the island and mainland. Always open and it extend into the larger section of the lake south of the island and changes a lot with the fluctuation of current. Always lots of bob house and cars on the ice in that area, sketchy to me!
More than anyone probably wanted to know!
