It is about two miles long and is divided in two by the "Narrows," into what as known as the Big Pond and the Little Pond. Bordered by the enclosing slopes of nearby hills, which form the border of the lake intersected as it were by jutting points and receding coves. It is a full recreational lake, which allows both motorboats and jet skis. There is a great diversity of waterfront property available on the lake ranging from seasonal cottages to million dollar lakeside homes.

Selling or Purchasing Waterfront Property: Prior to selling any property with a sewerage disposal system located within 200 feet of a Great Pond (defined by law as public waters greater than 10 acres), the owner must engage a licensed sewage disposal designer to perform a site assessment study to determine if the site meets current standards for a sewage disposal system. The study may also provide information about the current septic system located on the property.
There are no requirements that current septic systems meet any specific guidelines. The purpose of the report is for disclosure to potential buyers of the property. Further information about the site assessment study can be obtained from the NH Department of Environmental Services at 603-271-3711.
Potential buyers of waterfront property should be aware that local zoning ordinances may also govern what can be done with the property. It is important to know whether the town considers the property “seasonal” or “year-round”. This status may have an effect on how you can use the property.
