Trails lead to points of interest all over the island, including one of the highest points on the Lake. On a clear day you can view Copple Crown to the southeast. Trails also take you past a small swamp, a vernal pool, views of the lake, and a log cabin. The cabin, which dates from the mid-1800’s, was given to the Trust by the owners of Camp Kehonka in Alton. It was dismantled and reassembled at its present location in 1985 and is now used by staff and volunteers on some weekends during the summer.
Paddle Map
LRCT has created a waterproof paddle map that features Stonedam Island, along with four other island properties.
Island Access
Stonedam Island is located at the east end of Meredith Bay in Lake Winnipesaukee, just to the southeast of Meredith Neck across Sally’s Gut and to the northwest of Governor’s Island, and is open to the public during daylight hours.
*Please note that Cattle Landing in Meredith is no longer a free public launch*
- The only landing for motorboats is a dock on the northeast shore of the island. Please do not beach motorboats elsewhere on the island.
- The docking is limited to 3 hours.
- There are small beaches located on the south tip and southwest sides of the island and can be used for paddlecraft access.
- There is no access to the island from the mainland across Sally’s Gut.
