Default NH needs to step to the plate

Plus you need a very big area to provide for an adequate launch, parking, breakwater etc.

While I agree with your premise the towns won't do it...

It's another case of "yes we need that but not in my neighborhood syndrome"
It has to come from the State. I don't know the vagaries of lake front property but the DEP and State of NH clearly have interests in the shoreland.

I am not a NH resident but this would be a good time for those that are to write their representatives.

Public access to bodies of water need protected. Winni is big and because there are many towns involved, the State needs to steer the ship.

See my post yesterday about the little mini-town governments and mob rule. Here's an example of the greater good being supplanted.
