Lake Norman's exceptional rafting contest is done for Charity: As a long, narrow and awkwardly-shaped lake, the raft must be serpent-shaped because room for normal boat traffic is necessary.
Two
advantages of Lake Norman, is that it has a municipal water supply,
and the location is
a "dry county". (IF you get my drift).

I doubt, even for Charity, you could get as many boats as Lake Norman gets:
Their record is
over 1453 boats registered for the event!
That said, locating your competing Lake Winnipesaukee rafting contest in "The Broads" would be far more accommodating to lakefront owners.
Many lakefront owners depend on a "clean" supply of water at the intake pipe. The availability of clean water is much-reduced in the shallower waters of Lake Winnipesaukee's inlets, coves, bays, and especially those oft-maligned No-Rafting zones.
