  • 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).

Get an update of the program’s activities on state lands during the 1st half of 2020 by reading below. REGION 1 – NORTHERN NH Connecticut Lakes Natural Area, Pittsburg - CLNA Manager Jill Kilborn completed a timber harvest on the South Bay Bog area last winter with help from other Region 1 staff and DNCR foresters. It will complement the very first timber sale on the CLNA which took place in 2009. During that sale there was a focus on aspen along the winter road that runs through the South Bay Bog area. That work resulted in some excellent aspen regeneration which was expanded upon in this latest entry. One-half to one-acre groups were harvested in the surrounding hardwood stands to promote new understory growth and better wildlife cover. In between the groups, thinning was done to promote mast production of beech and cherry.

  • Lake Sunapee Byway Corridor Management Plan (PDF, 1.6
    Corridor Management Plan for the Lake Sunapee Byway Formally Adopted September 9, 2010 Prepared by the Lake Sunapee Byway Committee With technical assistance from Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission With funding from Federal Highway Administration through the National Scenic Byway Program, administered through the New Hampshire Department of Transportation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lake Sunapee Scenic and Cultural Byway is a driving route around Lake Sunapee in the towns of Newbury, New London, and Sunapee, New Hampshire. The Lake Sunapee Byway is one of seventeen designated routes in the New Hampshire Scenic and Cultural Byways Program, consisting of roadways that exemplify unique cultural, historical, recreational, scenic and natural features in the State. The goal of the Lake Sunapee Byway Corridor Management Plan is to recognize, preserve, and enhance the character of the Byway and its resources. The Lake Sunapee Byway Committee is tasked with preparing a vision for the byway and creating and implementing a Corridor Management Plan to achieve that vision. The vision for the Lake Sunapee Byway is as follows: The Lake Sunapee Byway welcomes travelers seeking alternatives to the beaten path, linking several villages, each with a unique connection to the history and culture of the Lake Sunapee region. The 39-mile route encircles Lake Sunapee, connecting visitors to vibrant communities and natural scenery. The lakes, mountains, and forests offer striking vistas and a multitude of recreational opportunities. In the village centers, history and modern-day culture converge, where old buildings are adapted for new uses and the traditions of yesteryear are still observed. The Lake Sunapee Byway reflects the best of New England tradition, recognizing and protecting the qualities that make this region unique.

  • 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.
