About
A resource for residents, visitors, and stewards of all of Winchester’s most treasured natural assets.

MORE INFORMATION IS COMING SOON!!
Highland Lake is one of Winchester’s most treasured natural resources — a 445-acre, spring-fed gem known for its clear waters, scenic beauty, and year-round recreation. Whether you're boating, fishing, swimming, or simply taking in the view, the lake is a vital part of the town’s identity, economy, and ecosystem.
Although Highland Lake is the largest and most populous, it is important to keep in mind that it is not alone in its importance in Winchester. Lake Winchester, Park Pond, Hurlbut Pond, Winchester Club Pond, Crystal Lake, Rugg Brook Reservoir, and other smaller bodies of water all contribute to Winchester's quality of life, scenic beauty, and healthy ecosystem.
But like all lakes, Winchester's are vulnerable. Stormwater runoff, shoreline erosion, and everyday residential activities can impact water quality and threaten its long-term health.
This page is your guide to being a good lake steward. Whether you live on the lake, near the watershed, or just visit seasonally, your actions matter. Here, you’ll find simple, effective steps you can take to help protect Highland Lake — and links to local organizations, regulations, and tools to support your efforts.
