Many seapleane pilots are from out of state. There is no way of telling these pilots that Pickeral Pond is off limits. Unless someone listed the pond there will be more landings. It is up to the state or the abutters of the pond to make sure the pond is listed.

Back in the 70's and 80's, Pickeral Pond was used as a practice landing by the school at Laconia Airport. The pond was my first Landing and take off in an amphibous vehicle.
