The meal was ready by the time the teams were fed and bedded down. The flume operated until 1885, and enabled miners to take over 20 million in gold. The Rockerville Flume carried water 20 miles, from Spring Creek west of present day Sheridan Lake, east to the placer diggings near Rockerville. Hearing the team's bells coming up the grade, Emma started cooking. The historic Flume Trail takes you back in time to the mining boom of the 1880s.

Echo Lake has a boat launch as well as a boat rental.Bissett Station. Both Echo and Profile Lake are accessible to kayaks and small boats. Echo Lake is larger than Profile Lake with 38 acres of water, used for boating, fishing and swimming. The Lakeside General Store at Echo Lake has all the live bait and fishing poles that you need. (A beautiful day for fishing on Profile Lake)įor individuals who prefer spin reel fishing, Echo Lake, just another mile up the road, is the place for you. This understand will allow you to recognize what the fish are eating at that time of year, and it will help you become a more successful fly-fisher.

It is important to know the biology of the insects as well as their lifecycle. Perhaps what I like so much about fly-fishing is that is takes a lot of observation. The owner Sara is super helpful with helping select flies and all the other things you need to be a successful fly fisher. Luckily, Mountain High Fly in Lincoln has just opened. Although fly-fishing has grown in popularity over the last couple years there hasn’t been a fly-fishing shop in the area until recently. Fly-fishing is accessible on the Pemigewasset River at many pull-off points along I-93. Profile Lake is the starting point of the Pemigewasset River, which runs through the center of the Park, and runs into attractions such as the Flume, and Basin. However, the very best way to fish is catch and release!! (Panorama of Profile Lake) Every direction you look on Profile Lake has an amazing view, which makes the fishing worth it, even if you don’t catch anything! At Franconia Notch State Park they strive for every visitor to have an enjoyable experience, therefore the daily limit of Brook Trout is two fish, and only one of those fish can be over 16 inches. It sits at the base of the Cannon Mountain, and you can see where the Old Man of the Mountain used the rest. This 13-acre lake is designated for fly-fishing only.

Perhaps one of my favorite recreational activities to do in Franconia Notch State Park is fly-fishing in Profile Lake, which is stocked with trout. Bikers can enjoy the paved bike path that runs the entire length of the park, while people who enjoy kayaking can paddle in both Echo and Profile Lake. This state park hosts many other recreational pursuits as well. Franconia Notch State Park is not only for hikers and campers.
