Here's a screen grab from an aviation chart showing the Yankee 1 and Yankee 2 MOA (Military Operations Area). It's within the magenta lines with the "hairs" sticking inward. The helicopters and cargo planes practice low level flying within the MOA, which is why we see them so often flying low down the Lake.
Also common to see F-35's from Burlington VT and F-15's from Westfield MA practicing dog fighting over the White Mountains.
