Special Weather Statement issued May 23 at 12:09PM EDT by NWS Gray ME
* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the mid 60s may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which are currently only in the mid 50s across Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the mid 50s in the regions smaller lakes and rivers. * The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water. When the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the average submerged person could loose dexterity within minutes and be unable to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats, canoes, or kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating this weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle smart from the start and always wear your life jacket! * Generally light and variable winds shift to southerly today. Winds will be breezy this afternoon with some gusts up to 25 mph. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe, or kayak due to increased wave heights.
About
Passaconaway Campground sits in a heavily wooded setting along the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountain National Forest. The 33-site campground provides a quiet base for exploring the surrounding peaks and valleys, with the Swift River flowing a short distance away offering brook trout fishing opportunities. The campground operates strictly first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grilling grate. Potable water is available from a hand pump, and vault toilets serve the facility. Firewood is sold on-site; gathering is limited to dead and down wood only. Across the highway lies the trailhead for multiple popular routes: the UNH Trail to the 2,520-foot summit of Mt. Hedgehog, the Downes Brook Trail, and the Mt. Potash Trail. Dogs must remain leashed within the campground. Maximum stay is 14 consecutive nights.
