It's busy on weekends, but the waves don't start up til almost lunch and it calms down again in the evening, there is a small cove that connects to the bay that is great for peace and tranquility, though are very limited with the size of the boat that can get in there, but perfect spot to kayak, fish, paddle, never a wave in there

I just joined this site today. I've been going to the lakes region for over 40 years now and I've never seen it as busy as this past summer. Traffic was horrible every weekend and Paugus bay channel was the worst I've ever seen it. I first owned a place on Winni in Alton bay 40 years ago. Then I had a place on Winnisquam 20 years ago and most recently I bought a place on Waukewaun. I guess as I get older I prefer the quite lake experience. Winni is just too crazy for boating unless you can go out during the week. I found Waukewaun to be too my liking at my age. My wife and I like to Kayak and it provides a peaceful experience. Yet when the kids and grandkids come up I can still take them tubing and water skiing. I guess it's all about what stage of your life you are in. JMO.

the Margate sandbar has become the new place to be on the lake I guess, but it does not bother me in the slightest even been close to it.
there is a current to the bay and I think it is one of the better swimming places on the lake (the bay not the sand bar)
