Our Story
Peacham Pond is a 331 acre, spring-fed lake located near Groton State Forest in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The Peacham Pond Association was formed in 1947 with the objective, "to assist in improving, promoting, maintaining and protecting wildlife in the area and assisting each other in the betterment of the camp community."
During the 1947 meetings, the discussion focused on getting electricity to the seasonal properties on the pond, the stocking of fish and the quality of the roads. There were fifteen members who paid one dollar each in annual dues.
While board meeting topics still include roads and anglers, times have changed. Our discussions now focus on water quality, invasive species, the health of the loon population, and our relationship with town government.
