This is not a thread to complain about wakes. There is a complaint section further down on the main page of the forum. If you want to help fine. You can help by suggesting some appropriate areas on the lake for a festival or event. And yes the larger 30 plus foot yacht cruiser boats cause wakes as well. And what about the mount Washington? I don’t recall that making the biggest wake on the lake. And as for erosion, I don’t recall the seasonal storms and rains to dwarf any wakes made by a few boats.

My response, there are no appropriate areas on this lake to do what you are looking to do.

There will be. We are confident we will find a suitable location/arrangement. Our numbers keep growing each year. We are here to stay. #wakesportsmatter

Perhaps you will find a suitable location and you may or may not be here to stay. Your ability to pursue your endeavors carries with it the considerable risk that waterfront property owners in the vicinity of your activities will carefully document by video the condition of their property immediately prior to, during and after your event and get bow numbers so that any damage will be attributable solely to your activities and thereby make your group collectively and individually liable for damages.

Default Study Committee

There is a legislative commission that includes many representatives from many points of view studying all of the above issues. Among others, MP, DES, NHLAKES, big lake, small lake, manufacturers and sport association folks are involved. Most legislative commissions report in the fall so there is time to introduce legislation in January. Who knows what will happen this year?

If you want to help the lake, you will take your festival someplace else

Default Committee assignment ?

Without knowing, I'd guess the OP was assigned to find Winnipesaukee locations, and others were assigned to look into other places. So most of the posters here don't find a suitable venue that matches calm waters and crowd visibility. Some might work for one issue, but not another. The places where events have been held in the past are now overpopulated, right?

Sounds like a great event. I second Moore Dam. I remember the races there years ago as being Much fun with lots of spectators.

I truly think the worst thing about the wake boats is they are going around and around in the same area. It's not like they take off from their dock, head out to the broads and ride around the lake somewhere. They repeatedly make these huge wakes in the same, usually small, calm area. They need to stay away from the shoreline.
