Who needs a dog park when you have an ice runway? 🐾✈️

Planes are officially taking off and landing on the ice — a winter phenomenon that returns to Alton Bay every year. If your cabin fever is reaching its peak, take a cue from this couple: grab your favorite co-pilot (a.k.a your furry best friend) and watch the action unfold right on the frozen lake.

The Lakes Region offers plenty of ways to explore the outdoors with your four-legged companion, so bundle up and make the most of winter before spring arrives!

Only in the Lakes Region (and Alaska!) ✈️🧊

Planes are officially taking off and landing on Lake Winnipesaukee! The Alton Bay Ice Runway opened earlier this month, transforming the "Big Lake" into a bustling airport.

Thanks to plow trucks clearing nearly 2 feet of snow and a solid 12-inch ice depth, we are welcoming aircraft back to the bay.

Whether you are a pilot or a spectator, this is a winter sight you don`t want to miss this winter.
