WELCOME
Granite Lake is a pristine, spring-fed lake located about 15 miles east of Keene, NH between the Towns of Nelson and Stoddard,
NH. The Granite Lake Association is a 50+ year-old nonprofit association comprised mostly of members who are homeowners with
lake frontage on, or with lake rights to, Granite Lake. While there is no public beach or swimming area, a boat launch is available.
Funding is obtained from membership dues and donations. For more information please see About Us.

GLA received a $50,000 cash grant from NH Department of Environmental Services early in 2008 for the preparation of a Granite Lake watershed study: first to identify and measure the primary sources of threats to lake water quality and then to prepare a management plan to reduce the impact from such sources. Sources to be examined include: logging; water runoff from roads and driveways; road ditches without treatment areas; culverts without adequate headwalls; septic systems in areas with high water tables; and fertilizer use on lawns and gardens. The environmental engineering firm, AECOM, has been chosen to undertake the study as contractor for the GLA. Don Kretchmer, Project Manager, will quarterback the effort on behalf of AECOM."
The grant requires GLA to provide about $33,000 toward the effort: in the combination of about $18,000 in volunteer service hours and of about $15,000 cash of which about $10,000 already has been contributed by member donations in response to the plea made at the August 2007 special meeting.
