This "new-found territory" was dredged from the lake. The Squam Lakes page talks about dredged territory as follows on their milfoil infestation prevention page:

"Variable milfoil fragments tend to establish new plants in water depths of less than 15 feet and in muddy or disturbed areas, such as dredged coves. Possible infestation areas are shown in light green on the milfoil map. MILFOIL MAP

This may be why some people are unhappy....unlike the fish and milfoil.

What are your thoughts on the Bahre Boathouse?
