Site details

The best-known shore dive on Lake Winnipesaukee, entered from the small town McKinney Park at the end of Clark Road in Wolfeboro. A shallow rocky training area gives way to huge boulder formations around 30 feet, and at about 45 feet a freshwater wall drops to 90 feet with a maximum depth around 105 feet and a small cavern at its base. Coarse sand keeps visibility up to about 25 feet on good days.
