COPYRIGHT 1939, THE KENNEBEC LAKES ASSOCIATION WINTHROP MAINE AUGUSTA Gateway to the Kennebec Lakes Region AUGUSTA - Maine's attractive Capital City on the terraced banks of the Kennebec River, is the gateway to the charming KENNEBEC LAKES REGION, a few miles westward. Smooth rib, bons of highway radiate from Augusta to weave continuously through this panoramic picture, land. Rich in Colonial tradition, this cultural center of many beautiful homes and a substan, tial commercial and industrial life has many points of scenic and historic interest. Notably among these is old Fort Western (restored), originally established as a trading post in 1628 near its present site and called Cushnoc by the Indians. It was first visited by a white man in 1607. Trading was so highly profitable that the Pilgrims were able to pay the expense of the Mayflower expedition with furs from the Ken, nebec. It was here that the Benedict Arnold Maine's Capitol expedition gathered for a week in September, 1775, before starting for Quebec. traInIng school for the recruits to the' State On a commanding height affording a mag, Police force.

Canoeing, rowing and motorboating is a safe pastime as the Lake is rarely too rough for this sport. Largest Lake in this Region TEN miles long by one to two miles wide and extending north and south, Cobbosseecontee is the largest lake in the Kennebec Lakes Region and the first to be met in approaching from the east, on Route 202. The east side of the Lake lies within the towns of Manchester, West Gardiner and Litchfield. Manchester, an at' tracti ve and prosperous rural town, four miles from Augusta on Route 202, is the most direct approach. It is one mile from Manchester to the Lake shore at The Augusta Country Club and the Hammond's Grove Sun1mer Colony among the Pines; just beyond is Island Park, a unique resort joined to the mainland by road and bridge. Country Club, Golf and Tennis THE Augusta Country Club with its flower, bedecked lawns and elose,cropped greens and fairways bordering the lake, commands a pano, ramic view of inspiring beauty.

  • 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).

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

  • 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.
