Not according to the Laconia map that shows them as public.
Harglen Lane, the road on the north side of Pickerel Cove has a green Laconia street sign and it does not say 'private' in small letters underneath Harglen Lane.
It runs about 1/4 mile to the end where it abutts the railroad track with enough room to make a u-turn in a car, plus there's no 'no trespassing' signs at the end, next to the railroad track. It looks like a well maintained, smooth compacted sand and gravel type road with some expensive waterfront homes.......nice neighborhood!
Even if it is a private road, does that mean it can exclude use by pedestrians or bicyclists as opposed to motor vehicles, who use it to access the proposed W.O.W. Trail to be built on the inside area of the rr right-of-way?
Behind the two-acre lot that is home to the City of Laconia, Hilliard Rd Brush Facility (unpainted wood & brush under 3" Dia only), on adjacent and nearby Hilliard Rd, there is acres and acres of undeveloped sloping wooded land that seems to be undeveloped all the way back up to Route 3, close to the entrance of theMeredith Bay, aka Akwa Soliel, developement.
I believe these undeveloped woods are the proposed area for the new to be constructed Akwa Woods-Del Bocco Vista developement, or something?
Having easy access to the W.O.W. Trail via Harglen Lane would seem to be a very nice amenity for the local residents. A nine mile long , pedestrian, bicycle, roller blade, non-motorized waterfront paved trail running from Laconia to Meredith and straight through the Weirs.
So.....what's not to like? Could be a great way to work off some excess weight....on a bicycle.....while on a commute or a trip to Laconia- Main St.
