Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at McKinney Park, Lake Winnipesaukee
One of the only public accesses on Lake Winnipesaukee. Good stuff to see. There is a full service dive shop only about 4 miles away.
Directions to McKinney Park:Take 93 north to Concord. In Concord get off on 15E (393/202/4/9) Follow to the end of 393 merges onto 2ndary road (Weathervane on Right) Continue for about 2 miles. At first set of lights take a left onto Main St Chichester. At the end of Main Street go left onto 28 North. Drive on 28 North for 40 minutes. At the Alton Circle cont. in 28 North into Wolfeboro. There will be a 90 degree bend in the road, about a mile beyond there will be the hospital. Across from the Hospital is Clark Road. Turn left onto Clark Road. Follow to end. Park at top of hill and walk down. Staging area at bottom. Swimming off to the right towards Wolfeboro Bay is not very exciting. If you swim off to the left it is a great dive with lots of marine life...bass, perch, sunnies to name a few. The average usually will go no deeper than 40 feet. Someone with good air consumption and diving skills could see the wall that goes from 60 feet to 110.

Dove this site 8-22-2011. Pretty good chop as it was windy today. Visibility was around 15-20 feet depending on depth and sunlight. Most interesting route is to go left and follow the shore line at about 30 to 40 feet depth. Found lots of fish, some quite friendly and they followed us around. Located the rowboat Bumblebee in about 40 feet of water which also had a geo-cache box hooked to it. Nothing fantastic but a good place to get wet on Lake Winnipesaukee. Porta-potty at parking lot. Picnic table by water makes good spot to gear up.
