Chapter Xxx Development of Jaffrey As a Recreational Center
CHAPTER XXX DEVELOPMENT OF JAFFREY AS A RECREATIONAL CENTER SUMMER BUSINESS I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it. SHAKESPEARE. Such were the sentiments of Celia when viewing the Forest of Arden as portrayed by the immortal Bard of Avon in "As You Like It"; and such have been the thoughts of the thousands of visitors who have been attracted to Jaffrey by its Monadnock Mountain, its tree-clad hills, its crystal lakes, its sparkling brooks, and its shady roads. And a goodly proportion of those who have come once to taste those pleasures have returned year after year not only to "waste time," in the words of Celia, but to renew strength and vigor of body and soul by breathing the pure air, tramping over the hills, resting in the cool woods, and bathing in the shining lakes. Neither history nor tradition tell of the beginning of Jaffrey as a pleasure resort, but more than one hundred years ago the town found it necessary to license places of refreshment for mountain visitors (see The Grand Monadnock), as appears from John Fife's advertise ment in the New Hampshire Sentinel of August 6, 1824: The subscriber will be ready to wait on who shall visit Monadnock this season after Tuesday next at the brook about one-half hour's walk southeast of the pin nacle where he is erecting a sufficient building as shelter from the sun, rain or the chills of night. Tea and coffee, with suitable meats and drinks will be provided. Horses may be left at his house on the turnpike.

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).

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.

Franklin Parks & Recreation Department
Franklin Parks & Recreation Department The Franklin Parks and Recreation’s Summer Program is based out of the Bessie Rowell Community Center. The Bessie Rowell Community Center provides ample room for both sunny day and rainy day activities. With multiple classrooms, the gym, and the stage, our participants have plenty of space to spread out and take part in a number of activities all happening at the same time. This offers more choices and a chance for the older and younger children to partake in separate and more age-appropriate events. The Community Center houses a designated game room with pool, ping pong, fooseball, and air hockey; an arts and crafts room; an activity room with books, board games, legos, activity sheets, and more. On sunny days, the Center offers expansive, on-site field space and playground area, again giving the children much-needed space to spread out and enjoy a number of sporting games, activities, and special events. In addition to our weekly beach days, and field trips all across New Hampshire, we are located close to Odell Park, Daniell Park, the Library, and The Franklin Falls Dam, all of which provide a chance for a group walk, new and exciting play spaces, and new scenery for the children to enjoy. Add to all of this a warm and caring staff who are also all CPR and First Aid certified, and there is no better way for your child to spend their summer. Ages: Kindergarten - 8th grade (must have completed Kindergarten) (Children are separated into groups by age) Program Dates: Monday, June 25th through Friday, August 31st (There is no camp July 4th) Hours: 6:30am - 6:00pm - Monday—Friday Our daily program will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm with extended hours (6:30am-9am & 4pm-6pm).
