Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I was recently told from someone at DES that the water quality in Winnipesaukee is much better now than during the 60's and 70's. Many of the camps back then had no regulations on their septic and overflow was constantly just sent directly into the lake.
I remember staying many times at the Chanticleer in the late 60's and all the cabins were simply leeching their septic into the lake!
Yes more can be done to keep it clean, but it's not all bad and in fact water quality has been worse in years past.
