See what people are saying about this project:
"If you haven't seen and enjoyed the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee you haven't lived! Native Americans called it "a beautiful water in a high place". Over 500' above sea level, 12 miles wide and 26 miles long the "Big Lake" has over 180 miles of shoreline and 274 inhabitable islands. BUT... like many of our waterways and other environmental it is threatened and needs our help. Over-development, the destruction of natural buffers and the lack of adequate funding are putting it at risk..."
"Lake Winnipesaukee is one of the most pristine and beautiful spots in the northeast if not the entire country. The entire lakes region is family friendly and environmentally stunning. It is just one of those places that needs to be saved and preserved."
"When I started coming to Lake Winni in 1955 we piped our water right out of the lake and drank it without fear. Now that I have retired to the Lakes Region, I have even stronger interest in preserving the water quality. This great lake is not only beautiful and a wonderful recreational resource, but a huge factor in the ecology of this area. Common wisdom requires that we take good care of it."
"50 years ago we could drink water directly from the Lake...Now all our drinking was has to be treated. 50 years ago there were minnows, freshwater crawfish and freshwater clams everywhere! Most are gone now...Let's preserve our waters and have one of the world's most beautiful lakes in the bargain."
