Memorial Day Weekend in Moultonborough: Local Fun & Fresh Air

As Memorial Day approaches, Moultonborough Village begins to hum with the unofficial start of summer. Whether you're a longtime local or visiting for the long weekend, there's plenty to enjoy right here in our backyard. From scenic drives to lakeside picnics, here are a few ideas to help you make the most of the season—plus a few tips to keep you safe outdoors.

Stroll, Hike, or Paddle

Spring is in full swing and the weather is perfect for getting outside. Walk the trails at Castle in the Clouds or rent a kayak and glide along Lees Pond or Lake Winnipesaukee. If you're more of a backroads explorer, the winding drives through Moultonborough offer stunning views of blooming trees and mountain backdrops.

Memorial Day Moments

Stop by Moultonborough’s Memorial Day observances, typically held at town monuments or cemeteries, to honor those who served. It's a quiet, respectful way to connect with the heart of our community and reflect on the true meaning of the holiday.

Seasonal Eats & Treats

From local diners to roadside stands, many seasonal spots reopen just in time for the holiday weekend. Grab an ice cream cone, enjoy an outdoor meal, or pick up fresh baked goods to bring to your picnic. Don't forget to stop in the Village Kitchen for a hearty breakfast before heading out.

Ticks Are Back – Stay Prepared

With more time spent outdoors, it’s also tick season in New Hampshire. Whether you're hiking, gardening, or walking your dog, remember to wear light-colored clothing, check yourself (and your pets) after being outside, and use repellent when needed. It’s a simple step to help you enjoy the season worry-free.

Final Tip:

Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to rediscover what makes Moultonborough special. Slow down, soak in the views, and enjoy the charm of our village as we shift into the brighter half of the year.
