You may not want to drink the water from some parts of the lake. I've been testing the water quality for UNH for over 10 years and have seen some pretty nasty stuff in the water. One of the tests filters 500 ml through low-micron filter paper. At times, I've had to pump the vacuum over twice as long to get the water through the sludge. The filtered water is then measured for color and while it varies, colorless it isn't. Here's a picture of the filter papers from a variety of testing spots in the north-east part of the lake. In the broads area, it won't be as bad.
