Lake winnepesaukee.
All tourists over the Concord and
Montreal Railroad must be familiar with
the glimpses caught of this most beauti-
full lake. The red men who inhabited
its shores and from whose fishing
grounds The Weirs derives its name, ap-
preciated it's charms when they called it
"The Smile of the Great Spirit" Sur
rounded with verdure clad hills, the eye
grasps the more imposing mountains in
the distance in restful bliss. 1t is
twenty-three miles in length, and on it's
surface are some three hundred and
sixty-five islands, many of which are
inhabited and teeming with life and Joy
during the summer months. The lake
is also we'll stocked with trout, pickerel,
bass and perch. Steamers and p easure
yachts are constantly plying it's waters.
Indeed, this wonderful CLEAN of Natures
own must be seen to be appreciated.
