Pickerel Pond, which is approximately 72 acres, is in the northwestern portion of Laconia (approximately 1.5 miles west of Pickerel Cove). Though close in name and proximity, Pickerel Pond and its associated wetlands are in the Winnisquam Lake sub-watershed while Pickerel Cove and associated wetlands are in the Paugus Bay sub-watershed. Most of this pond is located in the City of Laconia with approximately 12 contiguous acres in the town of Meredith. Though there are town roads paralleling the shoreline of Pickerel Pond to the west and south, this pond is relatively undeveloped with wide forested buffers,4 which in turn offer good wildlife habitat. Moreover, a portion of Pickerel Pond in Meredith is under a conservation easement.
