The Apgar family has been on Lake Kanasatka since 2005 when we purchased a vacation home on Sandy Cove. We brought our young boys up for the Fishing Derby in 2004 and while I was out on Fish Cove (Lake Winni) in the sub freezing temperatures my wife went out looking at real estate. The view across frozen Lake Kanasatka towards the Ossipee Mountain range was so beautiful that we put an offer in right away and were lucky enough to move in by Memorial Day. The fish were jumping in my boat that year and our boys (9 and 11) were young enough to thoroughly enjoy jumping off the swim raft into the clear blue waters. Several years went by while we enjoyed tracking shooting stars and satellites in the clear dark skies, roasting marshmallows on the campfire, learning to waterski, wake board, kayak, sail, canoe and fish in the quiet waters of Lake K.

As the boys grew to high school age it was no longer enough to spend family time at the lake during the summers. They started to invite friends to share with all the outdoor activities, including some covert clinking of bottles around the campfire late night when they thought their parents were not looking! We entertained large groups of friends and family in our Sandy Cove home, making beds on the floor to accommodate everyone that loved to spend time here in our little slice of paradise!
