After googling "kayaking on Lake Winna" Wild Meadow Canoes and Kayaks was the first business to…read morepopulate. Reserving a vessel is easily done on line, and I found $50 flat rate to rent a kayak for an entire day to be a bargain. My order came with a life vest and obviously a paddle. Lake Winnipesaukee is absolutely stunning. You will see beautiful homes, swimmers, kayakers, boaters, and the sun glistening the entire lake. I had a blast and got 10 miles in. When paddling back make sure you look for the large-rectangular boat house with the American flag. That's where you dock. I can't wait for more....

The girl that assisted us was very helpful and explained the different kayaks they had and the options such as getting a pelican case to protect our phones. She thoroughly went over the paths we could take and how to easily maneuver around the lake. We had a blast and easily got in and out with no issues. I would recommend this to anyone in the area looking to rent from knowledgeable people.

As a scuba diver, I dread having to go here. I've been diving for 15 years, having relocated to the…read moreNortheast from Florida with over 1,200 logged dives and interactions with dozens of dive shops. My main issue with Dive Winnipesaukee isn't selection or pricing--it's the staff. Diving Lake Winnipesaukee is cold, dark, has a short season, rough water, and not a lot to see. I spend my personal time on this, driving the boat of the car up to an hour just to get to this shop and another hour in four foot chop to reach a dive site on the opposite end of the lake. Between hauling heavy gear and long drives, the process is already a hassle. The staff could easily make the experience better and the day better, but instead, they make it worse. I've been here a few times. I walk in through the back door to the front counter and stand there while two teenagers focus on renting someone a canoe. Five minutes pass without a greeting, an acknowledgment, a basic "we'll be right with you " or even better a "you finish this while I help this person" (it doesn't take two people to rent a trampoline). Eventually I see someone in the back room, go to that employee, and politely ask to get a tank serviced and rent another one for the day. The transaction itself is purely clinical--exactly like walking into a doctor's office. I get handed a clipboard, fill it out, show my dive card, pay for the rental, get my receipt, and get sent on my way. When checking in my tank for a simple visual inspection, the staff member behind the counter asked for the date of manufacture on the tank. I mentioned I bought it brand new last year (meaning it's less than five years old), and she retorted, "Well, I need to check to make sure it doesn't need a hydrostatic inspection." Everyone in the dive community casually calls it a hydro. Using full the terminology just comes across as insecure (like you have to prove you know the full name) or it's pretentious. During a 15-minute rental process at any other dive shop I've ever been to, there's some basic small talk. Staff ask where you're diving today or talk about local sites, and you get to know the people. Here that isn't the case. The staff is generally unfriendly. I don't like going in there, I don't like interacting with them, and I'd rather avoid them entirely. My friend who knows them, said their problem is they're the only dive shop on the lake. He says competition demands exceptional service and customer loyalty where a monopoly does not. I agree. If another dive shop opened anywhere on Winnipesaukee, I would switch to them in a heartbeat, even if it were more expensive or further away.

We've gone down the river a few different times with this tube rental group. Each time has been a…read moresuccess. The first few times we had large groups of people with us, all meeting up to go down the river together. They accommodated us the best they could and we did the rest. You can rent tubes, cooler tubes, dog tubes, kayaks, canoes and more. They provide you with a life jacket and ticket time to be ready for your shuttle. They then shuttle you to a drop off location along the mighty Saco River. They transport you, your tube, and all your belongings right to the drop off. You can choose the length of your trip upon purchase. There is a one mile, three mile, and five mile trip down river. You can choose to repeat the trip, as long as there is time before they close for you to do so. They open early, like 8 am and close at 5 pm. The river is beautiful, and varies in depth throughout the trip. There's plenty of beaches to stop and enjoy a packed lunch or a snack. Please stay off of any beach that says "private" as they are not part of the rental companies lands. There's a couple of rope swings to stop at, but remember, you're stopping with no liability on the rental company. They are not liable for much on these trips. You sign paperwork ahead of time, stating such. Their booth has some items you may need for the trip down river, such as waterproof bags, dry bags, phone bags, goggles, paddles, sunblock, sunglasses and more, of course all priced slightly up. I really enjoy renting and tubing with this company, they've got it down after all these years. Definitely a really fun thing to do during a hot summer day.

In late July I was told it would arrive early August in mid August I was told late August and in late august was told "any day" and it's now September and still no calls, no canoe. Meanwhile all other proprietors have major sales and I'm leaving town for 2 months so will have to pick it up in spring. While I know they didn't intentionally mislead me, it's at minimum a huge bummer and at worst wildly unprofessional to give such incorrect information over and over. Really wish I would've gone somewhere else.

Our tour guide was a super nice guy who's obviously passionate about his job and NH, but he didn't stop chatting the entire time. He told us about every house on the lake, history of the lake, all the tea about people in the area, etc. While we appreciated his knowledge and passion, we felt that we couldn't get off the boat fast enough, as we would have been more relaxed at the bar or in our room. If the cruise had some nice music on, provided a few blankets (that were clean unlike the one he handed me) and offered the option for snacks/beverages, it would have been much more enjoyable. But the price tag for a 90 minute informational cruise with consistent talking and other passengers' phone loudly playing the ymca... was less than worth it.

Sofas on the lawn, a sea of broken down lawnmowers and a concrete block fire pit about the size of a small house, filled with remnants of said sofas and burnt beyond recognition metal & plastic. I wouldn't flinch if this was used for a mass human burning at one point. If you make it past the smell of Mustang cigarettes & formaldehyde , you will be greeted by a group of gentlemen right out of the Mad Max movies. All saddled around a lone campfire flanked by a few tarp-covered campers, a cloud of smoke above them of who knows what. These dudes are RTP. Ready. To. Party. Absolutely just a mish mash of Old Milwaukee chugging, old dudes ready to tell their life stories of past arrests and their Motorhead cover band (no joke). We actually used the kayaks for about 6 minutes in total before we were bbq'ing, drinking up a storm with these dudes. Just a friggin blast. A few other highlights I'd like to mention: -The restrooms were in the house up the stairs; not sure how the girls in our group got out alive and/or std free. -For about 2 hours there was a shotgun party across the street of nonstop gunfire; at one point showering down upon us into the trees as we played bocce ball. excellent. When it was time to leave, high fives and hugs all around from these dudes, like we've known them for years. So all in all, 5 stars across the board. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as an afternoon hangout if you have a 12 pack, some friends and a willingness to hug some 50 year old dudes.
