I've heard that as long as you draw less than 6 feet, it does not matter where you pass any of those three ATONs, never tested it though, I usually go between Bear and he red-topped spar. There's another spot on the lake, on the east end of Barndoor Island, where you are supposed to go between the two red-topped spars.
IMO, the NH marking system is terrible compared to the standard that all the other states use. It's much easier to understand not to pass between the nearest shore and the ATON with the black and white vertical stripes, or to not go between the group of white and orange ATONs, than it is to determine that I need go north of that black-topped spar and south of it's companion black-topped spar.
