In Meredith, at the town docks, about a hundred yards from the big intersection of Route 3 and Route 25, the town has about 40 parking spots, three large docks, and a motorboat launch ramp with a height adjusted loading dock.

No matter how busy this area gets, and it can get very crowded it's an easy and FREE unload into the water for a kayak. Parking your car is limited to three hours. There's sometimes a town dock, parking attendant collecting ten dollars for a put-in or take-out for a boat on a trailer, but no charge for hand carried boats like kayaks. From the roof rack of your car, to the boat launch ramp is just a minute's walk. Expect to launch alongside, or between motor boats.

Out on the water, that area of Meredith Bay is a large 6mph no-wake zone, and home to a sailing program that uses small' sailing prams and teaches sailing to youngsters.

Despite the big-boat reputation for a crowded Meredith Bay, it's a good spot for kayaks with some slow moving motorboat activity. Good place to get an up close look at a lot of motorboats, and up the bay about 500yards out beyond the no wake marker buoys, the motorboats stay away from the shoreline areas.

Paddling the shoreline areas is kayak country, as most kayakers know.

On Route 104 in Meredith, on quiet and scenic Lake Wicwas, the state built a parking and put-in ramp for hand carried boats like kayaks & canoes. The launching ramp is a walkway about six feet wide, so there's no room for trailer launching.
