Hit Wolfeboro mid-week, better chance to get a dock. There are several nice restaurants, ice cream stands, hot dog cart, shopping and general small town stuff to see.
As I hinted the public docks are large but always crowded, expect to wait, especially on weekend afternoons. All public docks on Winni are free and first come first serve. Some towns do enforce a time limit in the busy season.
Alton is also a good place. Less dockage but less crowded. There are fewer things to see, a couple restaurants, ice-cream, candy store and mini-golf. No shopping to speak of.
Also midweek, try the sand bar on the mainland behind Sleeper Island. Look for the no rafting zone on your map. It's a nice place to anchor and wade in waist deep water with a sandy bottom. Like Braun bay but not a rowdy.
While in the Wolfeboro area, you can ride by the summer home of our next president.
