Which lakes have explicit mph speed limits stated here?
Lake Winnipesaukee (and Paugus Bay, governed as part of Winnipesaukee) lists 45 mph daytime and 30 mph nighttime. Squam Lake lists 40 mph daytime and 25 mph nighttime. Other lakes are described as having no unique lake-wide mph limit identified (default rules apply) or having specific 6 mph channel restrictions (Winnisquam and Newfound).
Which lakes include specific 6 mph or channel-based restrictions?
Lake Winnisquam includes a 6 mph restriction in a defined marked area (Mohawk Island beacon segment) and references other marked no-wake areas and a no waterskiing zone. Newfound Lake includes specific channels/coves and marsh areas capped at 6 mph headway or marked no-wake.
Which lakes allow seaplanes according to this content?
Lake Winnipesaukee allows seaplanes and is identified as an active seaplane lake. Paugus Bay permits seaplanes as part of the Winnipesaukee system. Squam Lake prohibits seaplanes. Other lakes are described as not known to be permitted, not commonly used, or governed by general FAA/state rules.
What is the default no-wake or headway rule referenced throughout?
A headway/no-wake-style requirement is repeatedly stated as applying within 150 feet of shoreline, docks, rafts, swimmers, and/or moored vessels, especially where no lake-specific statute is identified.
Which lakes are described as requiring mooring permits in the provided text?
Newfound Lake is stated as requiring mooring permits per NH Marine Patrol. Mooring permits are also stated as required through NH Marine Patrol for Silver Lake (Madison), Pine River Pond, Lovell Lake, Crystal Lake (Gilmanton), Mirror Lake (Tuftonboro), and Lake Kanasatka, with other lakes described as “likely required” in the broader batch narrative.
