Canobie Lake

About Canobie Lake

A pair of divers glided through the water at Canobie Lake in New Hampshire, USA, on a cold, windy day in May. It was an unusual sight, as it was a highly valued deep water dive in one of the most popular and popular water sports in the world.

Canobie Lake Park is located on the shores of Canobies Lake and has been the island's most popular destination for over a century. But the sight of a pair of divers diving into the deep waters of one of the world's most popular water sports was unusual.

Canobie Lake covers 375 hectares and is mainly fed by springs, but consists of two different lakes, one in the north and one in the south. The lake is so large that the two arms of the lake are almost opposite each other at one point, and at that time it was about 1 km wide and was the largest freshwater lake in New Hampshire, USA.

Policy Brook is bounded by the lake that flows from the Merrimack River into the Spicket River and then flows into a stream to the north and the Brook of New Hampshire.

The water level of Canobie Lake is controlled by a dam in the city of Salem, and swimming is prohibited in the lake as is drinking water. The city controls the water level of the lake and is classified as oligotropic (very clean) water by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). In the 1980s, the Canobies Lake Conservation Society was founded to preserve the lakes.

Canobie Lake was first used as a water source for the city of Salem in 1903, serving 600 customers at the time. The biggest threat to Canobies Lake is the falling water level, although road salt from nearby Route 93 is occasionally a problem.

Demand is much greater today, and careful management should ensure that clean spring water from Canobie Lake remains available in the future. Boating is allowed at Canobs Lake, but there is no public access and there are no communal launch facilities for residents at the northern end of the lake.

Occasionally, perch tournaments take place on the lake, and anglers can compete for giant and small mouth perches. Perch fishing is considered one of the most popular recreational fishing in New Hampshire, but is not considered a competitive sport.
Canobie Lake is also home to a variety of waterfowl, including herons, ospreys and cormorants. Canoe trips lead to the towns of Salem and Windham am See, but are located in Rockingham County.

On the shore of the lake there is a residential complex, which is rented all year round and seasonally. There are properties for sale in both the town and the lake, but the facilities are very accessible and guests should not have any difficulty finding anything they might need. The lake consists of water filled with a variety of lakes, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds, as well as a number of ponds and streams.
