This photograph was taken from a field bounded by a large stone wall followed by an adjacent field with a view of Great East Lake in the background. Some buildings can be seen on the far shore. Great East Lake is an 1,825-acre (7.4 km2)[2] water body located in Carroll County, New Hampshire, and York County, Maine, in the United States. The lake is shared by the towns of Wakefield, New Hampshire, and Acton, Maine, with 45% of its surface area in Acton and 55% in Wakefield.[4] The lake is the farthest upstream of the five headwater lakes of the Salmon Falls River, a tributary of the Piscataqua River. Water from Great East Lake flows out its dam and through the 800-foot (240 m) Newichawannock Canal into Horn Pond, then into the Salmon Falls River below Horn Pond.
