Page Pond & Forest, Meredith

In January 2009, The Trust for Public Land and its partners successfully completed the purchase of the Page Pond and Forest. The property was conveyed to the Town of Meredith for permanent conservation. Protection of this site ensures that traditional uses, including hiking, fishing, hunting, snow shoeing and cross country skiing, will continue in the future. The Page Pond property also allows visitors an opportunity to wander among the remains of an historic sawmill and a large number of historic sites including pre-colonial cellar holes and stone walls. Conservation of this community resource will enhance Meredith's recreation-based tourism industry and create new opportunities for environmental education with schools in the area.

The 567-acre Page Pond and Forest located on Meredith Neck, New Hampshire, is an iconic landscape comprised of nearly 500 acres of forestland with two miles of frontage on Page Brook. As one of the largest remaining undisturbed forest tracts in the Town of Meredith, its protection is critical to the long-term maintenance of water quality in Lake Winnipesaukee. Page Pond and Forest is also prized for its wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and recreational values.
