Lake Waukewan is a Script error: No such module "convert".[1] water body located in Belknap County in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, United States, in the towns of Meredith and New Hampton. The town of Center Harbor occupies part of the lake's northern shoreline.
The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, horned pout, and white perch.[2] It supplies drinking water for the town of Meredith from an inlet near the south end of the lake.[3]
The water level is controlled by the Dam Bureau of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. As of 2013, it is maintained at Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level in the summer, and Script error: No such module "convert". the rest of the year.[4]
Water from Lake Waukewan flows into Lake Winnipesaukee, with a Script error: No such module "convert". drop in elevation. The water rights to the natural Measly Pond Brook (a.k.a. Corliss Brook) was purchased by John Jenness in 1795, and used to power a gristmill and sawmill in Meredith Village, though it was not the best local waterpower source.[5][6] John Bond Swasey redirected the flow into a 600-foot canal and consolidated waterfall (construction 1816-1818) which greatly improved the amount of waterpower available, allowing further industrialization of the village.
