A Winter Wonderland
Outdoor Recreation Wolfeboro is home to the Abenaki Ski Area, featured as a Most Important Ski Area in the October 2014 issue of Powder Magazine. Abenaki offers trails from green to black diamond and sits adjacent to the indoor Pop Whalen Ice Arena. Both are open to the public. Just a few of the activities offered by the Wolfeboro Department of Parks & Recreation include a unique Progressive XC Ski Dinner, the Abenaki Winter Triathlon, and a Winter Quilter’s Retreat. Find out more by visiting the Department’s page on wolfeboronh.us or call (603) 569-5639. Wolfeboro also offers XC skiing; Wolfeboro XC maintains 30 kms of groomed cross-country ski trails, and was selected by N.H. Magazine and
its readers as Best Cross-Country Ski Deal: leading the pack with community-run, family friendly, affordable and beautiful XC Skiing. Sportsmen will enjoy ice fishing on the area’s lakes; compete in a fishing derby or spend a day on an icecovered lake or pond where you can catch a variety of fish. Snowmobiling abounds in the Wolfeboro area with trails that lead all over the region. Like the wide open spaces? In the heart of winter, ice covered lakes offer great snowmobiling where you will have the unique experience of being on the lake with spectacular mountain views all around. Snowmobiles have access from the lake into Cate Park, or park at the end of the trail at the former railroad station.
