If your not going the Barber Pole route It would be faster going north of Little Bear between Long Island than through the HITW because of its NWZ.

Although this is true, I have found over the years that the time added is minimal to slow down and go through the Hole in the Wall. However if you are already up on plane it is easier, to just go around.... All depends on what the purpose of the cruise is.

You can see from this video that the trip through the HITW NWZ takes 2-3 minutes. I would guess that the trip around would take at least that amount of time.

And not only that, it is a great ride. Lots to see when you go through there.

Does anyone know the water quality and water depth in Ambrose Cove. Is it tea colored and or weedy?

JC Bach,

My experience is that the water begins to darken around Black Island as you head up into Moultonborough Bay. It gets darker as you head up towards Lees Mills and Greens Basin. It's not a water cleanliness issue, it's more from the peat in the wetlands areas at that end of the lake and the separation from the rest of the open lake. The upside is the somewhat darker color means the water gets a little warmer...

I beg to differ. I've personally beat friends many times as they've entered the hole in the wall and I've gone around. Difference is minimal, but going around will surely get you there quicker, boat or jet ski. My thing, if you're on the lake, why rush unless you just want to prove you can beat your friends
