This site seems to be very comprehensive, disclosing that the Lake Winnipesaukee water level had been raised from 5 to 12 feet. (Which is consistent with what I'd heard from my Dad, and some other longtime residents).

At the original (low) level, the range of boats on the lake would have to have been very small. Rocks Ahead!

BTW: Is this a legal matter?
