Lee's Mills Pond
 

Just sitting here at work looking at an aerial view of the lake and wanted to know if Lee' pond is connected to Winnipesaukee. The google earth view looks like they may be connected. The Bing earth view shows what appear to be a dam or a very thin land mass separating them. Depending on the lake water height can you navigate from one to another?

lees pond
 

There is a dam that separates the two bodies of water. Navigation is not possible.

Most stand-up paddle boards have a depressed handle located in the center designed to make them somewhat easy to pick up and carry. For someone weighing about 220-lbs+, they probably could use an 11'6"x 32" board, that weighs about 35-lbs.

Getting beyond the Lee's Mills dam, onto Lake Winnipesaukee is probably more doable with a paddle board than with a canoe or maybe a kayak?

Around We Go 🚐
 

While taking guests on an auto tour around our wonderful lake, we visited Lees Pond for the first time, after a stop at Lees Mill. What a beautiful, serene area! Our next stop was at the Country Store in Moultonboro - one of our favorite places to visit. This historic location is featured all this week on New Hampshire Chronicle on WMUR Channel 9. 🐻

paddle boards
 

I would not try to take a paddle board or canoe through the spillway of the dam. With any rain at all the current is tremendous. If you overturned in that area you would then risk getting impaled on rusty steel spikes from the remains of Lees Mill which collapsed there many years ago.

No, going down a spillway is a good way to get hurt, but a 11'6" long sup weighing 35-lbs is basically designed to be carried under one arm. The sup has a depressed hand grip handle located in the center that is designed for carrying it, under one's arm, so's it can be carried along a safe, walking passage, to get from pond to big lake.

Is pretty common for a walking path to already exist from previous paddlers dragging, carrying their kayak, canoe from one pond to another, like an old canoe portage through the woods, across the meadow, around the bend, down the slope, to the lake.... that's also a wildlife path for deer, bear, small furry animals...... and sup stand-up paddle boarders.
