B R is right. Although I don't place a lot of confidence in gov't to do the right thing, I can't imagine the NH Lakes Region being some sort of Shangrilla to the exclusion of all other places where you could launch your boat and thereby fulfill your boating needs. But, who knows? If global warming is the way of things to come, then Aroostook Valley, Maine will be the next Virginia Beach. A place on Winnipesaukee could be $100,000 per foot of shore frontage? I wish I had some money to invest in more shore frontage.
