Mirror Lake Watershed Management Plan (WMP)

The Mirror Lake Watershed Management Plan (WMP) is a comprehensive diagnostic study of Mirror Lake’s watershed and analysis of the quality of Mirror Lake.  It provides projections of future conditions of the lake as well as an on-going remediation program to ensure Mirror Lake’s long term water quality.  The WMP was funded, in 2010, by a Section 319 Federal Clean Water Act Grant administered through New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, the Tuftonboro Conservation Commission and Mirror Lake stakeholders.  In 2012, the Mirror Lake Protective Association received a second grant to implement many of the remediation projects recommended in the WMP.  Although we encourage you to read the WMP in its entirely, there is a three page summary in the front, to help you get started.

Bear sightings!

Bear sightings around Mirror Lake are becoming more common. NH Fish and Game advises taking down bird feeders; firmly securing trash containers; thoroughly cleaning grills; and not leaving food of any kind in cars, sheds, decks etc. Keep doors and windows locked at night and when you leave the house. Bears will avoid ammonia soaked rags and loud noises such as clanging pots and pans, airhorns, yelling, clapping and such.
