Description
It is a basic proposition which has become well settled by usage, statute and judicial decision that lakes and great ponds in New Hampshire belong to the public and are held in trust by the State for public use. R. L., c. 182, ss. 17, 18; Concord Company v. Robertson, 66 N.H. 1; Percy Summer Club v. Welch, 66 N.H. 180 ; State v. Sunapee Dam Co., 70 N.H. 458; Whitcher v. State, 87 N.H. 405. Meredith Bay in Lake Winnipesaukee, which is one of the boundaries of the lands owned by the parties to this dispute, is a part of one of the public waters of the State. Musgrove v. Cicco, 96 N.H. 141; Rothrock v. Loon Island, 96 N.H. 421. While the title of the State to the bed of the lake extends to the natural high water mark (Taggart v. Jaffrey, 75 N.H. 473), the defendant and other littoral owners have rights which are more extensive than those of the public generally. Willis v. Wilkins, 92 N.H. 400. Such littoral owners have the right to erect wharves and other structures into the lake which are superior to the rights of those who have only the rights of a member of the public. Dolbeer v. Company, 72 N.H. 562. Littoral owners may use the lakes and public waters in front of the property for recreational and other similar purposes in a more extensive manner than those who enjoy the rights to use the lake and public waters only as members of the public. Hoban v. Bucklin, 88 N.H. 73.
