About Meadow Pond
This area runs from the upland boundaries behind High Street and Gentian Road to the edge of Meadow Pond Estuary. It is a large, 7-acre stand of common reed (Phragmites australis). It is the northern extremity of the largest marsh complex in New Hampshire: the Hampton Seabrook Marsh. The marsh is located landward of a highly developed barrier beach system and obtains tidal flow through a small inlet as its southern terminus. Up until 1995, this inlet was woefully inadequate to support full tidal exchange and was designated by the USDA as severely restricted. The marsh and lagoon system was dominated by cattail and Phragmites. In 1995, a new bridge was constructed as large as possible to alleviate the tidal restriction and restore health to the marsh. Small areas of Phragmites has been killed and displaced by native vegetation at the southern end of the marsh, near the inlet at Eel Creek. However, the majority of the system remains dominated by Phragmites. From Meadow Pond fact sheet
