Planes are exempt from the Boat speed limit which is when the lake is not frozen...and the Marine Patrol is watchin.. I don't think there is a speed limit on the ICE. NB

PS: ALL activities on the ICE require Experience in "Reading" the ICE and Common Sense.

Winter activities on winnipesaukee are exempt from ANY Speed limits. Only snowmobile trails are posted @ 45 mph in the state of NH.

However; you must go 10mph or less within 150 feet of a bob house,tip ups, cusk lines etc.

Unless otherwise posted lakes have no speed limits when covered with ice.
This applies to ATV's and snowmobiles. The exception is a few lakes with posted speed limits in Pittsburg.

Unless I was reading incorrectly I thought the rule read within 150 feet of an occupied bob house. If correct how is one to know.
Just curious, as we do not ride in NH and personally as with boats, I'd rather be well away from others when cruising up the lake, because many times it is in the 80-100mph region when we are on our sleds.

As has been noted exempt when landing and taking off.

RSA 270:13-a Operation of Seaplanes or Helicopters on Public Waters. –
