Kayak/camping on Squam Lake, New Hampshire

We drove from my parent's house in Tamworth to the launch at Squam Lake in Holderness, New Hampshire. The improved launch has restrooms, a two-sided launch, lots of parking and is FREE! Judy (my oldest sister) and I, with the help of my parents and husband, loaded up the yaks for our more than a mile paddle out to Bowman Island. Bowman is managed and owned by the Squam Lakes Association and camping reservations must be made through them. Plan as far ahead as possible, as their campsites are very popular and fill up fast. Judy and I waved goodbye and headed out along the inlet out to the lake.
