JRC...

Lake Winnipesaukee is a victim of her own popularity. All of the towns around tha lake have an "anything goes" policy towards zoning. In Laconia there are many large developments still being built, even as the housing market cools a bit. The idea is to attract people buying a second home... so the towns get the tax $$$ without having to pay out the education $$$.

The only thing that has slowed as far as boats are concerned is that towns are not letting the marinas build additional docks or rack storage facilities. The public launch facilities are small, and parking is tight.I think the number of boats on Lake Winnipesaukee has pretty much stabilized. There just isn't any more places left to put them.
