The presence, however, of a small lighthouse standing over small rapids at the shores and a covered bridge perched above vibrant fall leaves and the Nissitissit River across the street makes the whole scene even that much better.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_769\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-769\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/LakePotanipo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-769\" src=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/LakePotanipo.jpg\" alt=\"Fall scenes in New England: Lake Potanipo in Brookline, N.H.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/LakePotanipo.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/LakePotanipo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/LakePotanipo-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Potanipo in Brookline, N.H.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The lighthouse doesn&#8217;t possess the critical function of an ocean lighthouse.
