Could be the Weirs Times had a story about the Bear Island Hotel maybe sometime like 15-20 years ago.

That Bear Island Hotel was a summer and fall favorite party spot that included NH politicians from Concord for drinking, partying, and mess'n around. A welcome go-to spot out on the lake to go have a good time.

Supposedly, the reason why the Meredith Neck Rd is a state owned road and not a town road was because it was a big improvement over what was in use and was driven by Concord politicians look'n for a faster, easier route to get out to the Bear Island Hotel. There's a good sized old stone bridge that crosses a brook between the Lower Meadow and Upper Meadow Farms, still in use, at the start of the Meredith Neck Rd, plus some big hills, and low, wet swamp land and it was the State of NH motivated by the Bear Island Hotel-NH politicians that got it built. What really matters is a good time and the Bear Island Hotel was a happening place and the Concord pols wanted a better, faster way to get there.
