Wasn't the topic this question by jrc?

"...Winni is not a park with easy to measure entrance fees as a benchmark. Do people on this site see the kind of drop off reported in the article...?"

I think jrc is looking for anecdotal observations from the lake itself, and not "the news" which could be a cut-and-paste from the NH Chamber of Commerce.

What station(s) is it?

Lake Winnipesaukee gets an occasional mention on Boston's "Howie Carr Show", 680AM, WRKO. (Heard on Winnipesaukee, and also available on the Internet—worldwide).

His producer presents an annual segment titled, "Stupid Things I Did While Boating Drunk".

I was surprised to hear the same theme again this August, as last year's segment had ended suddenly when callers tearfully described boating tragedies in their families.

This year's callers must have been screened, as most were of the variety,
"Hold My Beer and Watch This...."

In other not-widely-known-news is that a large rafting party is scheduled for Winnipesaukee's Badger Island this Sunday. It is expected to have a sizable contingent from out of state: let's see how that party speaks to jrc's question.
