Granite Lake Headwaters, 515 acres, in the Stoddard Highlands contains two headwater streams that flow under NH-9, into Nye Meadow, and onto Granite Lake in Stoddard and Nelson. The land is managed for wildlife habitat and forest health, with special attention to downstream water quality.

In addition, the Headwaters parcel connects with a 2,278-acre corridor of conserved lands stretching from Spoonwood Pond in Nelson to NH-9 in Stoddard, providing room to roam for people and wildlife alike.

This important land protection project was made possible by grants from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Aquatic Resource Mitigation (ARM) Fund and the Quabbin to Cardigan Partnership, as well as generous donations from individuals in the Granite Lake community and many Friends of the SuperSanctuary.
