New Hampshire (603) - All Areas

These five rinks seem to the whole story for New Hampshire.

====

Alton Bay/Lake Winnipesaukee, NH

Alton Bay Pavilion
Alton Bay
    Alton Bay is located in northern New Hampshire, at the extreme
    southern end of Lake Winnipeaaukee.  From I-93, get off at exit 20 -
    US 3/Rt 11 - Laconia and head east on US 3 for about 10 miles,
    through Laconia, then bear right to follow Rt 11 for about 15 miles
    around the southeastern end of the lake to Alton Bay.

Small - Seasonal

Lake Winnipesaukee is a New England summer resort area dating back to
the 19th century when trains and lake steamers shuttled the vistors
around.  The Alton Bay Pavilion is an amusement pier located at Alton
Bay on the southern end of Lake Winnipeasauke.

The pavilion and skating rink is a seasonal operation, open only during
the summer recreation season on the lake.  The skating floor is supposed
to be quite small, perhaps 100' x 100'.

    miles from the interchange, before you get to Enfield.

    any case, continue on Nimble hill for about a half mile then turn
