Laconia NH
Big Island is 2.2 acres and was once the home for a children's camp. The current property owner put utilities (water, sewer, electricity) out to the island from nearby Paugus Park Road on the mainland in 2016/2017. To my knowledge, this is the only non-bridged island with city sewer. This property sits undeveloped now though it is zoned residential for up to five homes.
Big Island rests just off the shores of South Down in Laconia. Between Big Island and Little Island to its east the way is very rocky making it a choice fishing destination.
As I paddled around the island on my kayak recently I was struck by the bird calls and natural feel. Big Island is surrounded by rocks on the south and east side and while Paugus Bay is often busy with boaters they steer clear of its shores.
