I have some statistics that indicate just how large a body of water Winni is, since many of the SL Supporters try and make it out as a Pond!!!
Lake Winnipesaukee is the largest lake in the state of New Hampshire and the
6th largest lake in the United States that lies within the boundaries of one state..
Area of water surface = 72 square miles
Maximum Depth: 200+ feet (off Rattlesnake Island)
Average Depth: 40-45 feet
Volume: 625 billion gallons
Length: Approximately 28 miles
Width: Approximately 15 miles at widest point
===================
According to some people Winni is the smallest 72 square mile Lake in the world
