VT-NE,
I would certainly not discourage anyone from using any part of the lake out of fear of hitting bottom, but make sure to stress the importance of following a good navigation chart (there are several available) and ALWAYS knowing exactly where you are. The charts show (by dotted lines) what sides of the bouys to stay on. There are some tricky areas, but the key is to know where you are - ALWAYS. If you are not sure of your navigation skills, then you might want to stear clear of areas like The Graveyard, Pistol Island, the Varney Islands, Upper Moultonborough Bay, the Witches, and others.
