About Powder Mill Pond
Powder Mill Pond WMA contains old pasture woodlands of white pine, red maple and gray birch; old fields dominated by grasses, alder, aspen, cherry and birch; riverine habitat and its associated grass, sedge and red maple wetlands along the Contoocook River; and uplands of Appalachian oak/pine and hemlock/hardwood/pine forests. Approximately 29 acres of the tract lies within the flood zone.

The river edge and old field habitat provide for a variety of wildlife species. Common wildlife includes white-tailed deer, American woodcock, wood ducks, mallards, black ducks, snowshoe hare and other small furbearing mammals. Powder Mill Pond is a typical warm water fishery hosting largemouth and smallmouth bass, eastern chain pickerel, hornpout, black crappie, and bluegill.
