Sailing off Wolfeboro Neck
“The First Summer Resort in America” became such because the first Royal Governor of New Hampshire, John Wentworth established a summer estate known as Kingswood on Lake Wentworth in 1770. This site can still be visited though just a foundation is left.
Wolfeboro has six water bodies within the town or with the town sharing shore frontage such as on Lake Winnipesaukee. Some facts and figures about these lakes are listed below.
| Lake Name | Altitude | Acres | Max Depth | Avg Depth | Town |
| Upper Beach Pond | 983 | 144 | 26 | 17 | Wolfeboro |
| Cresent Lake | 534 | 148 | 21 | 12 | Wolfeboro |

Each Wolfeboro lake and pond has its own unique characteristics, but all have beautiful rental and owned properties located on them. For the person wanting the feel and excitement of a big lake then Lake Winnipesaukee with its 44,586 acres to explore are for them. If it’s the quiet and solitude of a small water body that doesn’t get tremendously busy but has many cottages as well as the internationally acclaimed Wolfeboro Camp School on its shores, than Rust Pond might be the place to enjoy your summer on.
