JC Bach,

My experience is that the water begins to darken around Black Island as you head up into Moultonborough Bay. It gets darker as you head up towards Lees Mills and Greens Basin. It's not a water cleanliness issue, it's more from the peat in the wetlands areas at that end of the lake and the separation from the rest of the open lake. The upside is the somewhat darker color means the water gets a little warmer...
