The Lochmere dam on November 20, 2008. For more information about the operations of the Lochmere dam, click here.

The original 800kw hydroelectric facility which had been built here in 1910 by the Laconia Gas & Electric company was retired in 1966. Unlike the Lakeport and Avery dams, there were no significant natural falls at this location prior to the construction of the dam.
