Lake Winnisquam Living: Inside the Waldron Bay Community

Waldron Bay on Lake Winnisquam with 3,482 feet of shorefront.

Meredith, NH — Waldron Bay remains one of the most desirable water-access communities on Lake Winnisquam, New Hampshire’s fourth-largest lake. Encompassing 344 acres, including approximately 170 acres of permanently preserved wooded conservation land, the community offers 3,482 feet of pristine shoreline and one of the lowest-density residential settings in the Lakes Region, with homesites ranging from one to ten acres.

Originally marketed and sold with the involvement of Roche Realty Group, Waldron Bay was thoughtfully designed to balance privacy, conservation, and lake access. The surrounding protected woodlands provide abundant wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and a level of tranquility rarely found in lakefront communities.

Often described as a hidden gem due to its limited road visibility, Waldron Bay offers exceptional seclusion while remaining conveniently located near Interstate 93 in the resort town of Meredith. The community features a harmonious blend of water-access homes and individual waterfront properties, all designed to complement the natural landscape.

One of Waldron Bay’s most notable amenities is its expansive natural sandy beach, widely regarded as one of the finest on Lake Winnisquam, available exclusively to residents. Overlooking the shoreline is a well-appointed beach pavilion and clubhouse featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings, hardwood flooring, kitchen facilities, restrooms, changing areas, and flexible gathering spaces suitable for year-round use.

Additional amenities include 21 individual boat slips, a tennis court, canoe, kayak, and windsurfing storage racks, paved roads, underground utilities, and architecturally diverse homes — many offering panoramic views stretching toward the Belknap Mountains.

Lake Winnisquam: A Rising Alternative to Larger Lakes

While Lake Winnipesaukee has long benefited from national name recognition, market trends across New Hampshire’s Lakes Region show increasing demand for properties on smaller, quieter lakes that offer comparable natural beauty with enhanced privacy and boat traffic. Lake Winnisquam has emerged as a standout choice.

Lake Winnisquam itself is a remarkable natural asset. The lake spans 4,214 acres with a maximum length of 10.5 miles and a width of up to 1.5 miles. It reaches depths of 173 feet, with an average depth of 52 feet, and boasts 28.2 miles of shoreline. The lake contains five islands and two basins divided by Mosquito Bridge. A full circuit around the lake measures approximately 34 miles, and Winnisquam holds an estimated 69 billion gallons of water. Sitting at 482 feet above sea level, the lake offers exceptional water quality and four-season recreational opportunities.

As a local Realtor®, Winnisquam Lake isn’t just part of my market — it’s part of my life. From evening boat cruises to surfing behind the Malibu and gathering with friends at the sandbar, I truly value the lifestyle this lake offers. I take great pride in representing the homes along its shoreline and helping clients find their place in this special community. For me, real estate on Winnisquam is personal — it’s about protecting and promoting a way of life I genuinely love.

Lake Winnisquam has emerged as a standout choice. Centrally located and widely regarded as one of the region’s highest-quality lakes, Winnisquam offers an ideal balance of accessibility, recreation, and peaceful living. Along the northwestern shores of the lake lies an exceptional four-season community surrounded by expansive conservation land—Waldron Bay.
