To be honest, I'm sure it's big properties and mega developments with night time tennis courts etc. that is the bulk of the light.

I don't want to argue over which lake is better. I love the whole lakes region and love the activity around Winni as much as the quiet life around Squam.
I was just funnin'.
Light pollution is mostly from big(ger) businesses that both stay open later and light all night (not really a reflection of operating hours/my joke).

I remember when Lowe's in Nashua went in and they had these giant lights on when I would drive home from school after dark (and they were closed)—I used to get so upset thinking how they added to the local light pollution. I stopped teaching night school shortly afterward, so I'm not sure if they still keep them on.

In any case, enjoy the night sky!
