Help keep Horn Pond clean!

Invasive aquatic plants are a big challenge for lakes in Maine and New Hampshire and quick action actually helps preserve a lake.  If you see any unusual growth activity, please contact our volunteer lake watcher Rich Melanson at joe62100@basicisp.net .

Always check your boat, trailer and equipment for plant fragments before launch and after take-out.

Good Lake Manners

Picture
  • Horn Pond is relatively small and there is an unwritten rule to boat counter clockwise.
  • A speeding boat's wave ripples across the whole lake and other boaters and people on their docks may not appreciate it.  So, while enjoying your boat and pulling the kids around, please use common sense.
  • Observe headway speed within 150 ft of the shore in New Hampshire.  If you happen to boat in Maine, the rule is 200 ft. At 20 mph you cross the border about every two minutes...
  • Please remember to vigilant with your boating safety. Please be aware of your surroundings on shore and in the water. For more information check out: http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/boating/safety.html
