Train Rides

An alternative to a cruise is to ride the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. You’ll be treated to scenery along Paugus Bay if you ride south towards Lakeport; while the northern route takes you along the edge of Meredith Bay to Meredith. Buy your tickets at the small kiosk on the boardwalk, at 211 Lakeside Avenue.

Rail Bikes

A brand new kind of train attraction is now available from the train station in downtown Laconia. Starting in 2022, Rail Bike Adventures offers 4-seater, self-propelled rail bikes. It’s not a ride, you have to pedal! It takes about an hour and a half to pedal the 5 miles round trip to the south of the Laconia station and back. The attraction is very popular and fills up fast, so be sure to make advance reservations.

HISTORY OF TRAIN RIDES

The Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad route rides on tracks that have been in use for over 100 years. The 1893 railroad schedule below shows six trains a day in each direction from Boston to Weirs!
