Spoonwood Pond Description
ACCESS: park at Nubanusit, portage over dam. Spoonwood Pond is well protected, inaccessible by car and off-limits petroleum-powered motorboats. Spoonwood Pond and Nubanusit Lake in Nelson and Hancock are the headwaters for a series of rivers, streams and ponds of all sizes, including the Nubanusit River down to Peterborough. There are campsites, but they must be registered by a member of the Harris Center, a nature group that manages the pond. The nearby Harris Center has hiking trails and other activities. To reach Spoonwood you cross Nubanusit Lake, which is always windy and sometimes rough, but a nice place to be. Nubanusit boasts one of the few Bald Eagle nesting trees in New Hampshire. Spoonwood Pond itself isn't developed but Nubanusit is. The best time to fish is right after ice-out in late April. The fish are close to the surface then and can be taken on light tackle and fly rods.
