A copy of a 1971 UNH Water Resource Research Center Report titled 'The Economic Effects of Pawtuckaway State Park Vs. The effect of Park use on Environmental Quality.' has been added to the Downloads section of the web site in the Environmental Data folder. This report is an interesting look back at the issues surrounding the opening of the State Park.
From the report abstract: "Pawtuckaway State Park has been operating since 1966. This large rural park fronts on a portion of Pawtuckaway Lake which is 800 acres in size. Numerous clusters of seasonal houses are adjacent to the shoreline and the park. During the summer of 1971 an intensive study was made of (1) lake water quality as affected by park usage, and (2) the attitudes of private water-oriented landowners toward the park. " |
