Boats can anchor anywhere they would like on the lake and most people stay away from a populated shorefront.
My family has even seen Mitt Romney swim off his boat in a quiet area with his family.
Even as a waterfront landowner I have anchored in some of the few remaining unpopulated nice bays and coves on the lake for a swim. I have met friends who where sharing the same cove and had a few water balloon battles or would swim over for a refreshment. Some where from a marina or condo but most where from another waterfront home, who just wanted to enjoy another part of the lake.

Hi Excalibur...
"Is not a ,"no rafting zone", a place where you can not tie more then two boats together?" --> I think this is a double negative although I am not an English teacher... Here is my affirmative double negative answer... YES... A no rafting zone is NOT a place where you can not time more than two boats together...
If you read RSA 270:44 as outlined in post # 32 above - or at this link
http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/...270/270-44.htm - you will see that it indicates a raft is 3 or more boats *(Form or allow the boat which he is operating or in charge of to be a member of a raft consisting of 3 or more boats)* - Maybe that'll clear up the muddy water a bit for you
I am glad to see that you are a land owner and that you raft too!!! So you can actually see it from both sides of the coin because you have been there and done that so-to-speak... So as not to get into a big long discertation about rafting, rights, etc... make sure you read from the first post on this thread to the last one and you should get yourself up to speed on all the issues on both sides...
I don't think any of the above posts/threads need to be re-hashed this week... We pretty much went over every possible scenario and issue last week as outlined above, and now we are all just waiting to be heard by the Hearings Examiner on August 31st...
