In December, we shared a blog with an overview of things to do in Laconia, New Hampshire, this summer.

As such, The NASWA Resort on Lake Winnipesaukee is preparing to meet the needs of friends and families who have been itching to enjoy fabulous weather and a bevy of local attractions and events.

Lake Winnipesaukee Essential Travel Packing List

Taking a trip to New Hampshire’s Lakes Region is something that every family should consider, especially if they love the outdoors. With its sparkling lakes and emerald green forests, our little slice of paradise offers an enticing chance to make lasting memories while engaging in a bevy of recreational activities. It’s easy to understand why so many people wait until the last minute to finalize their travel packing list with so much to do. Although The NASWA Resort is closed for the winter season doesn’t mean you can’t begin the planning process! To help make the most of your Lake Winnipesaukee vacation, we came up with three things you’ll want on your travel packing list and why.

Travel Packing List for the New Hampshire Lakes Region

Planning the perfect family summer vacation can take some work, but you’ll be glad you did when everything you need is easily accessible. Creating a travel packing list will give you unrestricted access to your essentials and help determine what you’ll need to leave behind or purchase when you get to Laconia. Even though our New Hampshire family resort has a wide assortment of amenities, there are still items you’ll want to add to your checklist.

A Variety of Clothing

Most people visit the Lakes Region during the summer months, likely because there are so many outdoor recreation opportunities. However, the clothes you would wear hiking won’t be adequate for cruising around on the boat in Paugus Bay, and as such, having a wide range of clothing available is crucial.

UV and Heat Protection

Sunscreen does a great job protecting your skin against UV radiation, but sunglasses, hats, and shawls are an excellent way to supplement SPFs. Sunscreen will prevent your skin from getting burned, and additional clothing will reduce your chances of coming down with heat exhaustion. Also, sunglasses will keep you from squinting, which can lead to headaches. It’s never a bad idea to bring a bottle of aloe vera if you get a minor sunburn.

Insect Repellent

Although there aren’t a bunch of bugs at the resort, you may want to bring a canister of insect repellent in case you’d like to do some rural hiking. Gnats, mosquitos, and flies all have their purpose, but you shouldn’t have to be annoyed by them! Be sure to include at least one bottle of bug spray on your travel packing list.
