Water from Dublin Pond flows west through a series of lakes into Minnewawa Brook, a tributary of the Ashuelot River, which flows to the Connecticut River at Hinsdale, New Hampshire.
New Hampshire Route 101, a two-lane highway, runs along the northern shore of the lake, and the town center of Dublin is less than one mile to the east.
The state owns the 1.3 acre Dublin Lake Scenic Area on Route 101, which protects much of the north shore.
The buildings were part of a popular summer home community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Many prominent artists stayed in the community, including Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Abbott Handerson Thayer, and Joseph Lindon Smith.
