Is Paugus Bay too busy?

First: In my opinion the police presence on Winnipesaukee, if anything, is too light. I put approximately 300 hours per season on multiple boats and see violations almost every time I am out. I would be glad to see more enforcement and I think the Marine Patrol does an excellent job with limited resources.

Second: If you are looking for quiet and tranquil there are many northern areas of the lake that will provide that. If you want to boat to places for food and entertainment there is no better place, with more options, than Winnipesaukee.

However, if your primary interest is kayaking and paddle boarding you should probably consider a smaller lake.
