Whatever Lakegeezer might "think", it is a fact that lawns are extremely poor filters, do almost nothing to stop erosion and have an extremely detrimental effect on the quality of water in the Lake, even in the rare case where the Shoreland Protection Act is obeyed and they are not fertilized. The NHDES and their website are more authoritative and can give a more factual reasoning for this, based on science ratehr than opinion. Having lawns within the Winnipesaukee watershed is inarguably the worst thing that ever happened to the Lake, even if they do feel good on one's bare feet.
