Winnipesaukee Ice Report

Any updates for ice/snow conditions on the lake in Meredith? Heading up there in a couple days and trying to formulate a plan based on conditions.

Just came in from riding today. The hockey tourney was going on in Meredith and plenty of activity on the ice with spectators and vendors. There are some well worn paths. Outside of the bay it is still a little tough going with the new snow this week & it is snowing now. There are still some slush spots that bog you down. If you plan on staying right in Meredith you should have no problem

I plan on going from Browns to Bear Island this week. Looking forward to it!

I was on the lake today on snowmobile, Center Harbor. There is about a 5 inch layer of crusty snow with about 6 to 8 inches of watery slush below then ice. Not much fun riding over but manageable.

Any info on the ice conditions out to Rattlesnake from the launch?

you should be fine
my wife walked with the dogs from Cattle to Bear (south near camp lawrence) last weekend, took her about 25 minutes.
Find a snowmobile track it should be easy walking

This past Sunday my daughter and I snowshoed to Rattlesnake Island from the launch. We followed the snowmobile tracks out and we only ran into a little slush on the side of the Island before the access Road. It was very beautiful out there. I will try to attach a picture I took walking from the Broads side heading back by the access road, enjoy.
