Do the people that live there just care more than the people on Winnepesaukee and other lakes?

Squam Lake has the problem of too many small sailboats.

I don't recall seeing any lawns.



But wherever will Winnipesaukee's absentee landlords put their lawns?

McMansions are rented out to multiple families--some have multiple families at the same time!

I'd be curious about Squam's geese, too. We've mostly heard about the hazardous-fish-eating issue.
