Please, whatever you do, DO NOT BE AFRAID of Squam Lake, it is a Beautiful lake. Great Fishing ( Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, White/Yellow Perch. Water is extremely clean and clear, just to many wonderful things to say about it.
Only down side I know of is there is only 24-26 parking spots that are free.

Top Water is correct in everything he says. I only have one suggestion (and I am not picking on him): can everyone PLEASE refer to the paper reference guides for bodies of water as "charts", not "maps". I hate to split hairs, but they are charts:

You say charts, all the Tourist say map. You like potato and I like potahto. You like Tomato and I like Tomahto. Potato, Potahto, Tomato, Tomahto.. Let's call the whole thing off.

Seems likely, that sooner or later, some year soon, the Downing's Landing at the tip of Alton Bay, on lake winnipesaukee, will get a redo similar to the very well designed and well constructed Fish & Game state launch here on squam.

You know what they say ....... where there's a will, there's a way ...... so who wants to leave $10,000 in their will, for the NH F&G to redo Downing's? Such a super-duper location at Alton Bay.....just needs a redo? Once , it's constructed, it's probably good to go.....for many, many years of happy boat launching.......down at Downing's! All it takes is a F&G revenue source, and didn't they just raise the price for a license from $35 up to $45, so hopefully the money is piling up.

Sunapee as well. I don't know what happened to the plans for Gooseneck, (or Goose something) Did the locals win that one? Alton should happen soon I would think.

That's right, SS!! I'll make sure we have plenty of ropes for you. Don't forget your map when you head over.

Don't you have a chart telling you how many ropes are needed for each type of boat ? Everyone should.
