Snowmobile through the ice in Alton Bay
 

About 5 PM, a snowmobile went through the ice near the Cascades. Two people, no injuries, but the snowmobile did sink.

Where's the "cascades"?

Near where the snowmobile just went through.

The fun has begun!

Between Sandy Point and Echo Point
 

On Rte 28 A (Eastside Dr) in Alton, there is a brook that passes under the road and is a series of small cascading waterfalls due to the steepness of the hill. The brook terminates in the bay next to a white boathouse, which is between a third of the way or even half way between Sandy Pt and Echo Pt, and again on the east side of the bay.

Smelt run?
 

I heard many years ago that many more years ago the stream had a heck of a smelt run.
