The Lakes Region of New Hampshire derived its name from the 273 lakes and ponds that can be seen throughout the area. The largest lake is Lake Winnipesaukee, which covers 69 square miles. The other large lakes are Squam Lake, (where the 1981 classic movie “On Golden Pond” was filmed on location), Newfound Lake and Lake Winnisquam.
