Highland Lake Description
A good population of Largemouth Bass and lower numbers of Smallmouth Bass exist in Highland Lake. Experienced anglers and those taking the time to get to know the lake experience good Bass fishing. The shoreline is mostly wooded and highly developed and there are extensive shoal areas in Highland Lake. Those planning to ice fish here should be aware that there are many springs located around the lake and that traveling with ski mobiles can be very dangerous. The best access is at the south end of the lake just off Rt. 123.
Highland Lake is a 712-acre (2.88 km2) water body located in Sullivan and Cheshire counties in southwestern New Hampshire, United States, in the towns of Washington and Stoddard. The lake has two outlets. The north outlet feeds Shedd Brook, while the south outlet flows through Island Pond to the North Branch of the Contoocook River. Water from the two outlets rejoins in the town of Hillsborough, approximately 8 miles east of Highland Lake and one mile upstream from the Contoocook River. The lake is home to fish like the black crappie, the largemouth bass, the smallmouth bass, white perch, yellow perch and pumpkinseed.
