VOLUNTEER
Whether you are new to the area or a life-long resident, it’s hard to not love Laconia.
Swimming and boating around the lakes, afternoons at the farmer's market and
strolling the river’s edge, walking the trails at Ahern Park during foliage,
and skiing in the winter—what is there not to love?
