  • 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).

  • Glenn Normandeau NH Fish and Game Department 11 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301 November 27, 2017 Proposed Magalloway River Rule C
    Glenn Normandeau NH Fish and Game Department 11 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301 November 27, 2017 Proposed Magalloway River Rule Change Dear Director Normandeau: Native Fish Coalition of New Hampshire is opposed to the proposed rule changes on the Magalloway River. This river serves as an important migration corridor for wild native brook trout in the Lake Umbagog system, including the Dead Diamond River in the spring and fall, as well as critical winter habitat. The Dead Diamond River is the finest “trophy” wild native brook trout fishery in New Hampshire, and recent studies have shown the brook trout are genetically pure. This is a unique and invaluable resource worthy of the highest level of protection. The proposed rule change would allow anglers to use bait with barbless hooks from June 1 through Labor Day. While the intention is to allow anglers to target hornpout, brook trout will inevitably be inadvertently caught and subject to the well-documented roughly 20-30% incidental mortality rate associated with barbless hook bait fishing. That one out of three or four brook trout accidentally caught on bait will die due to hooking injuries is of great concern. The current tackle restriction of artificial lures and flies only comes with an incidental mortality rate of approximately 3%. A change to allow bait would result in a sevenfold to tenfold increase in incidental mortality, which cannot be justified when you consider what is at stake. While brook trout are less abundant in this stretch of river at this time than during other periods, we cannot guarantee they are not present, especially during cold weather periods and high-water events.

    New Hampshire Hydrography Dataset: Fourth Order and Higher Streams Document Overview January, 2008 This document contains a summary of fourth order and higher streams in New Hampshire, based on the 1:24,000-Scale New Hampshire Hydrography Dataset (NHHD). The NHHD is archived in the GRANIT database at Complex Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire. Description of worksheets in this document: Summary by GNIS Name: Summarizes stream length by GNIS name (Geographic Names Information System, from the U.S. Geological Survey). Please note that multiple streams across the state may have the same name. In these cases, the GNIS ID uniquely identifies individual streams. Stream length totals are therefore based on GNIS ID. Addionally, there are occurrences where streams did not receive a GNIS name. These streams could not be uniquely identified, and therefore were summarized as a group (Unnamed Stream/River). Summary by Stream Order: Summarizes stream length by stream order. Summary by Town Name: Summarizes stream length by town name. Process Steps: Describes GIS process used to extract data required to generate these summaries.
