One should not attempt to love the lake while hating all others enjoying it. Homeowners seeking NRZ's should also realize that many folks use the identified NRZ's as target destinations to go to because they must be nice places to anchor and spend the day. Many boats can still squeeze into NRZ's and anchoring attracts anchoring.
I'm answering from the perspective that Lake Winnipesaukee wasn't always a "seasonally active, crowded and noisy state park." The Big Lake does return somewhat to normal after weekends. (Fireworks start Friday evening).



The trend, however, is clear...

According to Soundings magazine, Lake Winnipesaukee homeowners have it easy compared to the US' eastern seacoast.
