I'm pretty sure there's never been a cyanobacteria problem in Newfound Lake, the cleanest lake in NH and, possibly, the USA. It's not as big as Winni but, at 4500 acres, certainly not small, and it's 180' feet at its deepest, about the same as Winni. But it's not as heavily populated as Winni and it's fed by several springs, which might be why it's so pristine.

We used to frequent Wellington State Beach on Newfound before we bought in Wolfeboro and still go occasionally because it's so gorgeous and clean. Once in a rare while there's a fecal bacteria advisory or warning after a day when it's been mobbed with little kids from day camps but it's lifted shortly.
