Default Anchoring near a swim platform

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I spent some time looking, but did not find an answer, in the forum archives or the NH regulations. We were anchoring in one of our long time favorite coves. In the past five years, property in the cove has been purchased. There are now a few docks and a swim platform was placed right in the middle of the cove. We only anchor if we don't see anyone around, which was the case. The owners came back from a lake cruise, and found us anchored in the cove. They were nice in asking us to move, but mentioned that by law, we were required to anchor at least 150 feet from the swim platform. We left, but I was left wondering about that law. It seems crazy that someone can put an unregistered swim platform in the middle of a cove, and effectively prohibit anyone from using the cove at anchor. There is no way to be 150 feet from the swim platform - and 150 feet from the shoreline.

I'd like to read the regulations are about anchoring - from the shoreline, or from any thing else - I just can't find them.
