Fly-fishing is accessible on the Pemigewasset River at many pull-off points along I-93. Profile Lake is the starting point of the Pemigewasset River, which runs through the center of the Park, and runs into attractions such as the Flume, and Basin. However, the very best way to fish is catch and release!! (Panorama of Profile Lake) Every direction you look on Profile Lake has an amazing view, which makes the fishing worth it, even if you don’t catch anything! At Franconia Notch State Park they strive for every visitor to have an enjoyable experience, therefore the daily limit of Brook Trout is two fish, and only one of those fish can be over 16 inches. It sits at the base of the Cannon Mountain, and you can see where the Old Man of the Mountain used the rest. This 13-acre lake is designated for fly-fishing only. Perhaps one of my favorite recreational activities to do in Franconia Notch State Park is fly-fishing in Profile Lake, which is stocked with trout.
Bikers can enjoy the paved bike path that runs the entire length of the park, while people who enjoy kayaking can paddle in both Echo and Profile Lake. This state park hosts many other recreational pursuits as well. Also, DO NOT attempt to hike it in wet or slippery conditions.Franconia Notch State Park is not only for hikers and campers. While you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the forest, most of the hike is out in the open, so there is no shade along the way. There are no handrails so do not try to hike with children or pets. There are no handrails so balance is a required skill but if you brave the trip you will be rewarded with beautiful views of the surrounding mountain landscape. While you can get by walking beside or underneath the flume for most of the hike, there are potions that are too steep and require you to navigate a roughly foot wide metal grate walkway on top. If you don’t like heights or walking on a narrow metal grid on top of a flume as it crosses over several deep ravines, sit this hike out. The relative ease of the hike and striking views of the mountains make it a popular destination but it is not without its risks.
It takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete it. Re-posted from Instagram by nearly 5-mile hike rates 4/5 on All Trail website. and is posted in several places with “no trespassing” signs but that’s doing little to discourage hikers from walking the dirt path along the flume or from the steel catwalks atop the structure. The Flume is claimed to be the private property of the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. It has become a very popular hiking trail due to its close proximity to the lake as well as the picturesque views that can be had along the way. The Browns Ditch Flume is an old water diversion that begins on either Browns Creek or the south fork of Willow Creek depending on the map you have and spills out near the south end of Bass Lake. Several alternate sources were diverted to increase flow into the reservoir including the creation of Chilkoot Lake and Browns Ditch diversions. Not long after the dam was built in 1901 and then enlarged in 1910, the flow of water from the north fork of Willow Creek was not enough to fill the reservoir. Seymour realized that a more consistent source of water was needed to run the powerhouse so he came back and built a small earthen dam, creating what is now Bass Lake. After a few drought years and some competition from a rival company diverted a portion of Willow Creek thereby shutting down the powerhouse intermittently and sent their company into bankruptcy. Seymour Formed the San Joaquin Electric Company and began building one of the first hydroelectric powerhouses in the country on the north fork of Willow Creek. John Eastwood, a civil engineer, and his business partner, the industrialist John S. The origins of Browns Ditch like much of Bass Lake date back to the early 1900s and the idea of hydroelectricity.
There are several must see spots at, and around Bass Lake. When you are at Bass Lake, you probably want to explore the great outdoors and spend as much time in nature as possible.
