Town of Center Harbor Recreation

Popular destinations in Center Harbor include the Waukewan Golf Course, the Town of Center Harbor tennis courts and baseball field, and many winding walking paths through the conserved land, including the 157-acre Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest, Belknap Woods, and the Dane Forest.

Moon Island, located in Holderness, is in conservation and owned by the Squam Lakes Association, and can be easily accessed from Dog Cove in Center Harbor.

Center Harbor is One of the Most Scenic Towns in New England

Aside from the closing of Belknap College and the Center Harbor two room school house, the development of Senter's Market, the building of a bandstand for Friday summer concerts, and most recently, the residential development of some of the downtown Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline, Center Harbor has seen little change. Center Harbor was the location of the Squam Lake cottage in the film "On Golden Pond". That location and the sweeping views of Squam Lake from Center Harbor Neck are only two of the sites that make Center Harbor one of the most scenic towns in all of New England!
