Harilla is the best bet...especially for island living.

Coming from Portsmouth I would suggest Pier 19 or Pick Point. You can find out if there are slips at Pick Point by calling Walker and Varney in Wolfeboro.
We came to the Lake from Greenland for many years to our camp on Little Bear. The first couple we were at Quayside, and it took a long time to get around to that side of the lake. It was always a killer to go by the docks at Pier 19 and then spend another 40 minutes or so driving to Quayside. We rented at Pick Point for many years before we bought a slip at Pier 19.
Now we live in Alton and I still enjoy the convenience Pier 19 offers. I sell island real estate and have a boat in Alton Bay also, but there are days when it can be brutal going across the Broads. Mainly the boat in Alton is used for accessing islands at this end of the lake. Hope this helps. Contact me if you have any other questions.

Lane's End is just as close as Melvin, has slips, and is pretty convenient to the Tuftonboro transfer station for trash. Very friendly, helpful staff. Used 'em for years.
