All the NH laws about anchoring overnight came from personal opinions of legislators who lived on waterfront. They did not like seeing boaters off their frontage. Such selfish "law makers"!

One can observe such peaceful anchoring up and down the coast in coves and inlets!
Frontage on tidal waters is to the mean high water mark. I just observed that along Rye NH coast at a friend's two week rental. Owners in area attempted to control where people placed their beach chairs!

In NH, the State owns the Lake and body of water, not the land owner.
