...The State of New Hampshire has designated about 10± feet of Winnipesaukee shoreline for use by "citizens"...

My research indicates that the State has said/done no such thing.

The RSA I provided clearly indicates that it is referencing tidal waters, not inland fresh water lakes (Like Winni).

We are all free to guess what a lawyer may or may not do. I have neither the time nor desire to go there.

Finally, what you address as neglect may be just the opposite. A clear intent by the legislature not to grant such access via statute.

Enough from me on this subject, as we have transgressed afar from the intent of this thread.

I felt a response was necessary as undo alarm may have arisen by some lakefront owners reading your post and wondering when the New Hampshire Legislature had codified your claim (as expressed by at least one forum reader).

However, if you ever come across pertinent case law or legislation that confirms your suspicion, I am sure that would be of interest to all under a new thread heading.

Thanks for your reply!
