This plan examines resources, land use and traffic safety on the Moose Path and makes recommendations for continued stewardship of the intrinsic values of this state Scenic Byway. The Moose Path Trail was formally designated in 1994 by the NH Scenic & Cultural Byways Council. The original route is shown in green in the map to the right. At that time, the newly created national Scenic Byways program encouraged recognition of important scenic and cultural corridors via state and possible national byway designation. The national program also provided incentives for designated byways via a national Scenic Byways funding program that funded enhancements of byway facilities for the benefit of the byway users. In the North Country, both the Kancamagus-White Mountain Trail and Connecticut River Byway received national designation and funding for important visitor amenities. As part of the state and national designation process, North Country Council, the regional planning commission serving the northern third of New Hampshire, created a North Country Scenic Byways Council, comprised of representation from byway interests around the region. The purpose of this Council was management of the many designated byways in the region. The Council produced a guidebook to the five North Country Scenic Byways called “Northern Journeys” and participated in planning and obtaining funding for visitor amenities on the White Mountain Trail. While there was much interest in obtaining funding for potential improvements to byways in an era of extremely limited roadway improvement funding – New Hampshire saw an average of 1 $500,000 per year in Scenic Byway program funds from 1992-2012 Shifted focus of the program from a non-traditional - there was little attention to planning and management activities highway funding program to a recognized brand. related to designated byways in New Hampshire. In fact, a corridor Several of those changes impact the Moose Path Trail. Specifically, management plan had only been developed for one of the five the NH Scenic & Cultural Byways Council communicated the byways in the North Country region - the White Mountain Trail. following requirements to North Country Council in early 2014: (The Connecticut River Byway lies partially within the North Country Region and has also had a Corridor Management Plan A Corridor Advisory Committee is appointed, an annual which is overseen by the Connecticut River Byway Council.) meeting is held and officers are elected.

These changes are addressed throughout developed for this corridor. As a result of the federal Scenic the plan. Byway award – North Country Council has re-instituted the North Country Scenic Byways Council with new membership, and has completed this Corridor Management Plan. 3 Moose Path Trail The Trail Proposed Route This corridor management plan proposes that two segments be eliminated from the Moose Path Trail. These changes are shown on the map to the right. The first segment proposed for elimination is US 3 from Colebrook to Pittsburg. This highway is part of the Connecticut River Byway. Inclusion in the Moose Path Trail as well does not serve any purpose. Instead, it may only serve to cause confusion for the visitor. The second proposed change is elimination of the portion of US 2 from the intersection with NH 16 by the Gorham town common east to the Maine state line. This highway segment is proposed to be changed to the Presidential Range Trail. The main trunk of the Moose Path Trail, shown in blue, would then be the 93 miles from the US 2/NH 16 intersection by the Gorham town common, west through downtown Gorham, north on NH 16 through Berlin, Milan, Dummer, and Cambridge to Errol, west on NH 26 through Millsfield and Dixville to Colebrook, north on US 3 a short distance to NH 145, then north on NH 145 through Stewartstown and Clarksville to Pittsburg, and north on US 3 to the Canadian border. In addition, the two highway segments connecting Errol to Maine are proposed to be retained as gateways to the Moose Path for visitors from Maine. These are NH 26 for 8.5 miles south of Umbagog Lake southeast through Errol and Cambridge to the Maine state line, and NH 16 for 9 miles north of Umbagog Lake northeast through Errol and Wentworth’s Location to the Maine state line. 4 Description The Moose Path Trail begins at the Gorham town common at the Greeting visitors at the corner of intersection of US 2/NH 16. The common area has an information kiosk the common facing the intersection with panels displaying local history, an information booth, playground, at the start of this byway is this and bandstand. moose carving, a fitting symbol of this wildlife-themed byway. Adjacent to the common is the railroad museum in the Gorham Grand Trunk Railroad depot. There is plenty of parking at the common and one block away on Exchange Street, providing visitors access to Gorham’s downtown via sidewalks on both sides of the road. The downtown offers a variety of visitor services, including churches, stores, lodging, restaurants, gas and banks. US 2/NH 16 is also a shared ATV route. 5 The access to Moose Brook State Park is just one mile off of the byway on US 2 west. Heading north toward Berlin NH 16 is a commercial area with two small accesses to the Androscoggin River on the right. There is an information kiosk as one enters downtown Berlin. Downtown Berlin offers plenty of parking and a walkable downtown with sidewalks and parks. Services include restaurants, banks, shops, and gas.

    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).

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.
