Talk:Pawtuckaway Lake

Name of the lake
Well yes, "everybody" calls it Pawtuckaway Lake. But it's not correct to say that only historical sources use "Pawtuckaway Pond". The U.S. Board on Geographic Names cites "Pond" in the name, and therefore all federal maps, such as USGS topo maps, show "Pond" on them, and therefore all products derived from federal data, such as Google Maps, do as well. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * To be fair, I've seen it shown both as "Lake" and as "Pond" in Google Maps, depending on how I get into it. Strange. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Orienteering
Article could use more information about orienteering here. Eg, which club developed the O map, extent of the map, notable meets (foot O and canoe O), etc. --Una Smith (talk) 16:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Any orienteering info should go in a new article entitled Pawtuckaway State Park. This article should only be about the lake. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I see that Pawtuckaway State Park has been deleted twice for lack of sufficient content. --Una Smith (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems uncalled for, seeing that there are plenty of other NH state park articles, and Pawtuckaway's one of the most prominent. (And especially because of its notability to the orienteering community.) I'll get it going myself when I can get the acreage figures.  --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The Pawtuckaway State Park article is created. I am moving the Wikiproject Orienteering box to that article. --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:27, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping to get the new article off to a good start. I nominated Pawtuckaway State Park for Did you know?.  --Una Smith (talk) 16:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
