I try to not get involved in political debate in forums, but I think this is a good thing. We visit the lake several times each summer, and once when we came up, the areas we typically visit were closed due to cyanobacteria. I never expected that here and started checking the DES cyanobacteria map site before heading up to make sure we wouldn't have any issues launching our WaveRunners.

We visited the 1000 Islands in NY this summer, and the images below are from the motel where we stayed and the town's public docks. We were told this was "regular" algae and non-toxic, but residents said it's become a huge problem.

I would hate to see this happen to Lake Winnipesaukee.
