About location

Sanders Bay sits on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, United States, where Gilford’s wooded shoreline meets the broad water of the Lakes Region. At about 72 square miles, Lake Winnipesaukee is New Hampshire’s largest lake; its irregular basin contains more than 250 islands and reaches toward the foothills of the White Mountains. Sanders Bay lies on the lake’s eastern side, near Gilford’s residential shore and boating waters. The lake has long been central to recreation in the region, and the M/S Mount Washington passenger excursion vessel is among its enduring traditions. Gilford also includes Gunstock Mountain Resort, linking the lakeshore community with the surrounding uplands. Coves, forested islands and low ridges give this part of central New Hampshire its distinctive scale.

Region New Hampshire

New Hampshire occupies a mountainous inland position in the northeastern United States. The White Mountains define much of its northern character, culminating at Mount Washington, whose summit is famed for severe and rapidly changing weather. Southward, the Merrimack River links former mill cities including Manchester and Nashua, while Lake Winnipesaukee anchors the Lakes Region with wooded shores and island-dotted water. The state’s compact scale brings ski country, forest roads, historic seaports and New England town centres within reach of one another. Granite quarrying helped give New Hampshire its familiar nickname, the Granite State. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across New Hampshire.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
