The short answer is yes....

Here are the particular regulations you need to be familiar with upon arrival (I'd purchase a good chart/map and speak to someone familiar with the layout);

Newfound Lake - Bristol, et al.
RSA 270:74-a, Skicraft banned on Sanborn´s Bay, Hebron Bay, the area from Roger´s Point to Paradise Point between Hebron Bay and Sanborn´s Bay, Follansbee Cove, Hornet Cove and Pikes Bay. Skicraft may proceed, at headway speed only, through the above-mentioned areas to non-restricted areas.
RSA 270:74-a - Skicraft shall be restricted to direct travel to and from shore to the main portion of the lake.
RSA 270:74-a - No person shall operate a ski craft in the Southeast Cove other than to proceed directly to or from the main portion of the Lake.
SAF-C 402.49 - a) No person shall operate a vessel at a speed exceeding 6 MPH on that portion of Newfound Lake consisting of the so-called channel running in a general northeast to southwest direction between Cliff Island and Belle Island on the northwest and mainland on the southeast. b) No person shall operate a vessel at a speed exceeding 6 MPH on that portion of Newfound Lake known as the channel between Mayhew Island and the mainland at Pikes Point. c) That portion of Newfound Lake, in Hebron Bay, beginning at the sandbar entering the marsh area and including the marsh area shall be a no wake area. d) That portion of Newfound Lake in the towns of Bristol and Bridgewater known as Pop´s Cove shall be a no wake zone.
PENDING for 2001 - No wake zone in Pop´s Cover in Newfound Lake.
