The Basin's waters have never been for everyone.
When i was last there, the weeds made for difficult paddling; still, water skiing was possible, albeit only in circles.
Winter Harbor presently has a yellow color, as the recent rains have washed nutrients and yellow clay soil into the Harbor. High water levels have caused more than normal shoreline erosion. This has been made worse from huge wake turbulence from over-sized and poorly-suited boats for the locale. I've never seen such poor quality / visibility because of roiling of the waters.
Between my nextdoor neighbor and myself, we've lost five trees into the lake.
My neighbors have asked "What happened to Alton Bay waters?"
'Can't say I know...
