I think its because its just so far out of the way. Not a whole ton of fresh water is being mixed with it and its not as open like the main body of the lake. You'll notice that the water starts changing as you get near Nineteenmile Bay and gets darker as you go up Mboro bay.
The same effect happens in back bay of Wolfeboro, too, where the water is just sitting separated from the main lake. But then there's Lakeport, where the water is still (when churned by the prop) that bright green color. Probably because the water is at a constant flow through Paugus Bay and over the dam.
Not sure if that's correct, but that's what I've always thought.
