Navigating Squam

MikeF-NH · 06-02-2017, 05:52 AM

I will be headed up to Squam for the first time in the end of June for a long anniversary weekend. We plan to explore as much of that lake as possible but for years I have been reading about how dangerous that lake is to navigate with people even saying sometimes they find shallow rocks on the safe side of markers.

I use navionics so I expect to have a decent view of what is coming up and what is under me but I am looking for advice on:
1.) reliable charts for the lake that I can use to become more familiar with the lake without experiencing its rocky dangers
2.) specific ideas of areas on the lakes where any of you have experienced problems or that I should avoid.
