Since I'm living here this winter, I thought I could do a little work on this page.
I found something interesting over on the Talk:Lake Winnipesaukee page, regarding "Squam Lake" versus "Squam Lakes". My instinct is to go with "Squam Lakes" to start with. That would include things like the Squam Lakes Association and Loons, both of which are slightly more regional than specific to Big Squam.

If you have a camera and are in the mood for an outing, a photo of the Rockywold-Deephaven camps' ice-cutting operation (to fill the iceboxes summer guests use) would be a really cool Squam-Lake-in-winter image for this page... CDC (talk) 22:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
In the second paragraph, it says "Over 6,000 acres (12 km²) in size, the lake is maintained by the Squam Lake Association." The lake isn't really maintained by the Squam Lakes Association, is it? SatyrTN 02:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
The lake is listed as having an area of 6,791 acres in the second paragraph, but I could not find that figure in the cited website ( https://web.archive.org/web/20130803072027/http://www.granit.sr.unh.edu/). In addition, I have a map that lists the area as 7,702.44 acres (however, it was made in 1903). I have searched for more sources, but I could find were some tourism sites and some very grainy photos of old maps. Which number is correct? Are there any places that I could find more sources?
