We are a high-power rocket launch site that operates during the winter months on Lake Winnipesaukee in NH. We have the backdrop of the White Mountains and a snowcapped Mt. Washington to help capture the perfect rocketry picture. Our normal flying season is from mid-January to mid-March. This can change depending on ice thickness. We try to fly each weekend as our season is short. Launch site location - 43° 35’ 55” North, 71° 19’ 24” West. Lake Winnipesaukee east of Welch Island.HPR
