Mill Pond

Highlight • Lake

Mill Pond is a fishable pond right off the Nashua River. It is dammed by the Mine Falls Dam, a small hydroelectric energy dam. Kayaks can be put in on a gravely shore, and hikers can border it on the south side via the Red Trail and the north side on the Mill Pond Trail. In the fall the trees change color and it's a peaceful area to enjoy.
