The northern border follows Ham Road, Harriman Hill Road, Lakeview Road, and Governor Drive. Turning south, the border crosses the southern end of Governors Lake and follows the lake outlet and Smith Pond Road to Long Hill Road, which it follows northwest to Dudley Brook, then south to the Lamprey River. The western border follows the Lamprey and an unnamed brook south to Cider Ferry Road, then runs south on Old Manchester Road to Batchelder Road, which forms the southern boundary of the CDP. The border turns south on New Hampshire Route 107 (Fremont Road) to Prescott Road, which it follows east to the Fremont town line. ^[3]
