Dublin Pond[1] orDublin Lake is a 236-acre (0.96 km2)[2] water body located inCheshire County in southwesternNew Hampshire, United States, in the town ofDublin. The pond lies at an elevation of 1,480 feet (451 m) abovesea level, near theheight of land between theConnecticut River/Long Island Soundwatershed to the west and theMerrimack River/Gulf of Maine watershed to the east.
Water from Dublin Pond flows west through a series of lakes into Minnewawa Brook, a tributary of theAshuelot River, which flows to the Connecticut River atHinsdale, New Hampshire.New Hampshire Route 101, a two-lane highway, runs along the northern shore of the lake, and the town center of Dublin is less than one mile to the east.
The state owns the 1.3 acre Dublin Lake Scenic Area on Route 101, which protects much of the north shore.
The lake is classified as a coldwater fishery, with observed species includingsmallmouth bass,largemouth bass,brook trout, andbrown bullhead.[2] Along withChristine Lake (New Hampshire) the lake was one of only two locations where the now extinctsilver trout could be found.[citation needed]
45 historic buildings and 10 small boathouses around the lake are designated as theDublin Lake Historic District. The buildings were part of a popular summer home community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many prominent artists stayed in the community, includingThomas Wentworth Higginson,Abbott Handerson Thayer, andJoseph Lindon Smith. The district was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1983.[3]
