We have been visiting the Lakes area for the 15 years and have boating on the lake for 5 years. We visit the lake every weekend. Our main reason for boating on the lake is because of the cleanliness of the lake. Ever try swimming in the ocean..especially after a rainfall? The ocean (in RI at least), although beautiful to look at, has had its share of problems--sewage, constant beach closings due to high bacteria levels, boats dumping "everything" overboard, etc. The other reason we LOVE the lakes area is because of the cleanliness of the area (& the entire state for that matter). When we leave NH every Sunday we always can tell when we are home because of all the garbage on the RI highways..it is gross!!

If you are noticing more garbage it is probably from the tourists..we have seen this many times..outsiders at the lake/beach throwing their candy wrappers and empty soda bottles on the sand, not picking up after themselves or their children.

The message to people visiting this lovely state is to keep NH clean!
