LakeSmart Program

The LakeSmart Program was new to Clough Pond in 2019. We embrace this program with the assistance of the NHLAKES Association.

NHLAKES are the folks that have been bringing us the Lake Host Program since 2002. They brought us the Lake Conservation Corps in 2011 which resulted in the most visible improvement, the large boulders along the road at the Town Beach. That created a place for water that spilled over from the road to be captured and allowed to sink into the sand rather than run across the beach and into the pond dragging pollutants with it. The efforts of the Faith Community Bible Church, the Town of Loudon, and other local entities then completed that renovation of the beach in 2017.

What happens on your property affects the lake whether you have shoreline or are elsewhere in the watershed. The LakeSmart Program will help ensure that future generations will inherit a lake with a healthy future.

Participation in the LakeSmart Program will provide you with a property evaluation, property specific recommendations, and a toolkit of information so you can better protect the pond and its recreational value into the future. The program is FREE and participation is completely voluntary. 

At this time the Clough Pond Association is looking for property owners on or near to the pond that would be interested in having their property evaluated. This all was paused during the COVID months and we are hoping to get this moving again. Please contact an Association Board member of Officer for more details.
