  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • Crawford Notch State Park Hiking Information
    Crawford Notch State Park Hiking Information A few of the more popular family hikes in Crawford Notch State park are briefly described below. For more specific information or for descriptions and maps of lengthier hikes into the White Mountain National Forest and on the Appalachian Trail (AT), consult the Appalachian Mountain Club White Mountain Guide. It is important to wear sturdy walking shoes and remember that in the mountains, weather changes suddenly and darkness falls quickly. Keep close tabs on children, as unforeseen hazards may exist or develop unexpectedly on mountain trails. Two short, easy walks begin across the road and bridge from the Willey House site. The Pond Loop Trail, 1/2 mile round trip, bears to the left just beyond the bridge and leads through the woods to a viewpoint of the pond then loops back to the bridge. The Sam Willey Trail, one mile round-trip, bears to the right 30 yards beyond the bridge, follows the Saco River through the woods past several beaver dams, and loops back to the bridge. The Saco River Trail connects the Willey House site, Webster Cliff trail (AT), the Dry River Trail, and the Dry River Campground with easy to moderate grades along the valley floor. It offers scenic river views and mountain vistas. The trail starts at the far end of the Sam Willey Trail, 1/2 mile to Webster CliffTrail, 2 miles to the Dry River Trail, and 2 1/2 miles to Dry River Campground. Ripley Falls is a 100-foot high cascade where Avalanche Brook flows over moss-covered sloping granite creating a cool, peaceful spot to relax after the 1/2 mile walk in.

In the 1830s, a century before present-day Route 113 sliced through Evans Notch, John Brickett and Catherine (Whitaker) Brickett built this farmhouse from home- made bricks. Here, they raised nine children alongside sheep, pigs, cattle, and chick- ens. Since its acquisition by the White Mountain National Forest in 1918, Brickett Place Farmhouse has served as Civilian Conservation Corps headquarters (1930s), Cold River Ranger Station (1940s), an Appalachian Mountain Club Hut (1950s), and a Boy Scouts of America camp (1960-1993). Today, Brickett Place Farmhouse has gone through a thorough restoration and re- mains the oldest structure in the eastern region of the Forest Service.

Needle ice. Those exquisite, fragile crystalline columns of ice that grow out of the ground when conditions are right – mois- Oture-saturated unfrozen dirt and the air temperature below freezing. Beth and I were headed up the A-Z and Mount Tom Spur trails to the Mount Tom summit. Not much of a view to be had up there, but what a special hike! A couples miles of trail whose sides were strewn with oodles of patches and swaths of needle ice. A fairyland of sorts. You just never know what treasure the next hike will reveal. July 1, 2018. That day will mark the one hundred years duration of Cold River Camp’s operation serving guests as an Appalachian Mountain Club facility. Imagine that! All the guest footsteps walking our same trails. All the conver- sations at meals. The songs, poems and skits evoked and shared on Talent Nights. And volunteer-managed all that time. It is marvelous that so many of our CRC community carry on that tradition of committed investment. But we’ll hold our enthusiasm in check and do our celebrating in our 100th anniversary year, which will be 2019. A celebration committee has been at hard at work for about two years. You can read more about that on page 18 of this LDD.

  • Geologic Site of the Month: Glacial and Postglacial
    White Mountain National Forest, Western ME Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities December, 2002 Glacial and Postglacial Geology Highlights in the White Mountain National Forest, Western Maine 44° 18‘ 37.24“ N, 70° 49‘ 24.26“ W Text by Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 White Mountain National Forest, Western ME Maine Geological Survey Introduction The part of the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) in western Maine contains scenic high mountains (including the Caribou-Speckled Wilderness), hiking trails, and campgrounds. A variety of interesting geological features can be seen along the Forest roads and trails. This field guide is intended as a resource for persons who are visiting the Forest and would like information about the glacial and postglacial geology of the region. The selection of sites included here is based on geologic mapping by the author, and more sites may be added to this website as they are discovered in the future. The WMNF in Maine is an irregular patchwork of Federal lands mingled with tracts of private property. Boundaries may change from time to time, but the Forest lands included in this field trip are shown on the Speckled Mountain and East Stoneham 1:24,000 topographic quadrangle maps. Most of the sites described here are within the Forest and open to the public. A few additional sites in the nearby Crooked River and Pleasant River valleys are also mentioned to round out the geological story. Please keep in mind that although the latter places may be visible from roads, they are private property.
