Unfortunately, the Board of Selectmen voted to ban all water craft from Tobey Pond. It was not an easy decision to make, but we were asked to look into the matter by Great Mountain Forest over their concern of the invasive zebra mussel. Since we do not have the resources to monitor the comings and goings of any water craft, we felt it was best to impose an outright ban on all water craft.
