Good comment about understanding the boat traffic.
I was amazed one nice day when we took a boat ride over to the west side of lake in the Gilford/LSP area. It looked like route 128 with 3 lanes of traffic in each direction, yet there was no boat traffic at all by our house on Barn Door Island.
This past Sunday I was looking at the number of boats passing Clay Point... There was nothing close to us, but all those boats must have been passing quite close to places on the SE end of the island and Pipers Point.
The boat traffic is horrible between Sleeper Island and Alton too... Big cruisers coming through kind of 1/2 on a plane throwing up huge wakes.
I guess it also pays to know where the common sandbar / party areas are too. It's a whole different world when you're looking at one of them unless you only spend mid-week here.
There was a nice looking place on Sleeper Island looking towards West Alton Marina when we were looking, but our real estate agent (who knew we liked quiet), warned us that we probably didn't want to be there on a weekend.
If you're looking at land or a property, always try to visit it on a nice summer weekend before you consider buying it.
