Entertainment Think things quiet down when winter comes to Wolfeboro? Think again! Entertainment is abundant in Wolfeboro throughout the winter months. You can get involved by joining a theater production or taking in a show - comedy, drama, musicals and more are presented.

Walk! Bundle up and stroll along the area’s walking trails with breathtaking scenery and quiet, snow covered wooded areas.

Mark your calendar with dates of the music concert series and/or join a workshop. If you love the work of area artists, stop by local galleries to take in landscapes and portraits and more by talented Wolfeboro (and beyond) artists. Go to wolfeborochamber.com and check the events calendar often for what is coming up next.

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.
