Large lakes which ban motor boats?

Are there any decent-sized lakes in NH which ban loud motor-boat activity (water skiing, jet skiing, etc.)?

Thanks. Wow, Umbagog is way up there. I wonder if there are any lakes closer to i-89 which have similar restrictions?

I%26#39;m not ';looking to do'; much, just would prefer a peaceful area without yahoo speed boaters and jet skiers.

A small price (Drive time) to pay to truely be away! The bigger lakes in NH are developed and have issues with speeding. But, the offical speed limit on all waterways in NH is now 45 MPH, hope it helps curb the ';need for speed.';

Actual drive time from Boston should be about 4 hours to the the Great North Woods (note to Trip Advisor - This is not a region listed here). Unless of course you come up Route 16 and through the Ossipee, Tamworth, Conways section especially during peak seasons. I visit these areas myself, but typical during shoulder season%26#39;s.

Perhaps the NW corner of NH is a little closer to home and will entice you to explore NH a little further up north?

Oh, I agree Tazman. When I looked up that lake on the map, I saw that must be a great get away spot.

But, I think that drive would require at least 3-day weekend, if not longer, to be worth it to me. I was interested more in weekend-trip-distance locales. Three hours tops.

If, you coming up 93 and work you way east after Cannon, coming Beantown your looking at a solid 4 hr drive, more than what your looking to commit for this inquiry. If, you decided to come straight up 16 you could grow old during the drive - Especially in the summer.

I get folks for 2 days at a time alot, it all depends on how bad you need a real get-away I guess.

I would then suggest that you may want to start looking at the larger ponds in North, North Central Ma and Southern NH as a option. The ponds are smaller and attract smaller boats, leaving you with at least a decent paddle expreience and safe at the same time.

Anyway, I am sure that those areas have contributors that can provide far more detail than I.
