Default Lake Formation

“ Similar to Lake Winnipesaukee, Newfound Lake was created by building a dam across the outflow water in the early 1800's.”

Not so. The lake was created thru erosion and then glacially and the water level remains close to the same as it was 50,000 years ago. The dam controls the flow of water out and the level of the lake (+/- a couple feet) but you’d still have the lake without the dam.
