Hebron is 632 people at the north end of Newfound Lake, and for about eight weeks every summer it’s several times that. There is no town sewer here and no town water either — every tank and every well in Hebron is private, and always has been. Nineteen square miles, five historic summer camps, and a shoreline full of places that sat empty all winter.
The town sits on the lake in two pieces: Hebron village at the northwest corner, built around the common the town bought in 1799, and East Hebron off at the northeast end. Hebron zoning draws a Lake District that takes in everything from the water out to a line 500 feet past the far edge of the roads that ring the lake — Route 3A up the east side, North Shore Road across the top, West Shore Road down the west — so nearly every waterfront system in town falls inside that ring. The Cockermouth River comes down out of Groton and spreads into the marsh at the head of the lake, and the sand and gravel running along it from Hebron Bay to the Groton town line is a productive aquifer, which is the polite way of saying that what leaves a failing field down there does not stay put. Fourteen separate drainage areas in Hebron, and every one of them finishes in the same lake. Newfound is spring-fed and about as clear as lakes get in this state, and it stays that way because a few hundred people keep their systems honest.
Newfound Lake and Spectacle Pond are both public waters under the Shoreland Act, so a developed waterfront lot in Hebron triggers the RSA 485-A:39 septic site assessment when it sells. Get that done before you list, not after — on the old camp lots the assessment is usually where somebody finds out what they actually own.
