Kayaking on Lake Winnipesaukee's Paugus Bay - in Laconia NH Rating: Two Stars - This is a big lake/bay that we chose to paddle one-way from the Weirs Beach to the Landing Marina at the south end of Paugus Bay. The good manager of the Landing Marina allowed me to land at their ramp for free. We paddled along the western shore. Bay busy with powered boats and the waters choppy. Paddle time is 1 hour and 26 minutes.   Put in at Lakeside Avenue   park in Laconia NH. Take out at Landing Marina (private)   on Gold Street in Laconia NH. Estimated distance   = 4 miles Lakeport   Dam   Endicott Rock Park   and Weirs Beach Paugus Bay can be busy   with marine traffic. Wind and boats cause   choppy waters.
