Default ULTIMATE Shortcut is...

I think they meant to take Ledge Hill Road (a steep downhill right turn before a 2-story yellow house and barn on the left) off 171 to 109A: that'll take you to the northeast side of Wolfeboro.

Maybe 10 minutes: it depends on how fast you drive when you think you've discovered a shortcut!

Since Wolfeboro gets crowded after about 9AM, the time saved depends on when you leave and which end of Wolfeboro at which you want to arrive.

Routes 171-to-109A gets you to the northeast side of town (Sugar Hill/Wolfeboro Falls/Winnipesaukee Lumber).

Route 109 gets you to the northwest side of town (Wolfeboro Inn/Lakeview Inn/Dive Winnipesaukee).

(Forget the east side of Wolfeboro—you can't get there from Moultonborough).

The fastest shortcut—and I wish I this as a bumpersticker for tailgaters to read:

Leave Earlier!


(Especially important if you're launching a boat in Wolfeboro).
