Homeowner: Keep 150 ft away from my dock!

That is the point. The lakes, ALL of them, belong the the public...period!
Just because you decide to own lakefront, you need to remember that fact.
You don't own the lake. The State and people do.
150' rule should be known for what the law reads, not for someone who wants it to be what they want it to be. If they have dock, they should have a boat or at least know the rules of owning one

There are places on Winnisquam I anchor, and don't bother people, close to shore. Parts where the is no 150 feet, and never had a problem, and some really nice homes along the shore.

As for someone "swimming" up to me and telling to move off of what is really public domain , I'll tell him to talk to the MPs first, then I'll call them, and whatever Local cops it may be.
No sense getting into trouble with some wannabe.

I don't go near places that look like it would cause issues with land owners.
But I won't be put upon from some self important ass either.
