Lake Winnipesaukee History.

It is an unusual glacial Lake that reversed flow from going toward the ocean to the direction of the Alton Bay Iceport Merrimack River. Early explorers came to Laconia in the 1600’s hoping the rivers would lead to Lake Champlain and the Great Lakes.

At the outlet of the Winnipesaukee River, the Winnipesaukee Indians, a subtribe of the Pennacook, lived and fished at a village called Acquadocton. Today, the site is called The Weirs, Lake Winnipesaukee Firsts.
