Yeah, the people of Alton knew what they were doing in 1998 when they voted not to make Camp Alton into a town waterfront park, and to let it be sold for private property. And, now Alton has the most expensive single family home probably in the entire state in Bob Behre's 'Long View' perched atop clay point, and looking down the lake with a long view, all the way to Center Harbor ....... for sale ...... assessed for something like 18-mil, and asking 50-mil .....doesn't everybody in Alton live in a mcmansion like Bob's?
Besides, if Camp Alton had become the Town of Alton-winnipesaukee town park, it would probably be a messy mish-mash of a seasonal use, park area ....... just take a look at the Gilford town beach area.....that is not so nice despite the beautiful 1100' long beach.
.... oh well .... may God bless the Town of Meredith ........ thankfully, Meredith does a super-duper job with their town parks, town athletics, and town roads ..... now if only the State of NH could come up with the money to re-do their state owned Meredith Neck Rd.
If you think about it, New Hampshire is not really a state in the the way of Maine, Vermont, or Massachusetts: New Hampshire is more like a collection of many different towns that are bordered by the three states, and Canada.
