Two hundred and fifty-three islands
Winnipesaukee is a glacial basin with two hundred and fifty-three counted islands — shallow in the reaches between them, deep along the old river channels. The shallows freeze first. What gets built on an island is limited by what a boat can carry, and what lies under all of it is granite.
