Rattlesnake Island's NE shore is the former site of Rattlesnake Island's "measured mile", and is the
longest "straight" along Winnipesaukee's shorelines where offenders can get a sense (and the thrill) of top speed operation. Another straight one mile stretch is directly off
my shoreline; fortunately, large swim rafts keep most offenders at a distance.
I don't recall seeing Rattlesnake Island's NE shore having
any large swim rafts. (At least
not for very long! 
)

To clarify, there are fewer homes for sale on Rattlesnake Island's
Broads-side than in recent years—fewer "official" signs, and fewer "home-made" signs.
The Broads
NE shoreline has the largest concentration of offenders in my usual area of fair-weather boating. I'd expect that most islanders who must boat off that shore previously had to look both ways as though they were trying to cross I-93—on foot!
