Dumb Question of the Day
The Boss and I were out today.. and drove by Opechee to check out the Dog Sled races. We ended up in a discussion as to whether Opechee was part of Lake Winnipesaukee, or a seperate "Lake"
This is Wekipedia's page on Opechee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opechee_Bay But Terra Maps shows Opechee clearly "attached" to Winni.. http://terraserver-usa.com/image.asp...=94&Y=1507&W=1 If Paugus Bay is part of Winni... why isn't Opechee Bay part of Winni...:confused And before anyone says anything.. I know this is not as important as the speed limits or smoking bans....

Hi Steve,
I'll try to answer you. Paugus Bay enters Opechee via the dam at the end of the bay. Drive slightly past Lakeport Landing Marina and you'll see the dam. WR

Thanks Guys....
Ok.. so I lost the "discussion" with the boss... (not the first or last time).. so much for us guys sticking together!
They should have called it Opechee Lake or Lake Opechee Appears I'm up the "Winnipesaukee River" (Which IS on the other side of the damn dam.. ) without a paddle. I think I need Mac to save me here! We all know that he always tells the truth... even if Mee dosen't like it..

The Boss...
Steve A .....There is a reason why you refer to her as the Boss....I learned a long, long time ago that it is ALWAYS best to let the Mrs. be correct (You're right , Dear!!) It is never right to be right..... Even if you are......

Map accuracy questioned
Steve,
Although I have never been down in that area, I have to question the accuracy of the map you are using. Some times river connections are there, and sometimes they are not. If you look at the area of where Blackey's Cove gets near to Lake Kanasatka there is no river marking at all connecting L.W. with L.K.; And yet many moons ago my cousin and I navigated our way up to the Rt. 25 highway and portaged the 14 foot Sears boat Scott motor across, to cruise for a few hours in Lake Kanasatkaand then return. |

oh their connected.... but
Looks like the dam is the end of Winni... and the beginning of the Winni River... which dumps out into Opechee Bay. (I still think they should have called it Lake Opechee.)

I always thought Opechee BAY was kind of strange.After all,Lake Paugus was changed to Paugus Bay when the dam was built and the channel dredged.
