Ramp Access for the 4th

dukeofearl · 06-23-2011, 01:56 PM

Does anyone know what launch ramps are open the night of the 3rd? I heard that there are fireworks on both the West and the East sides of the lake. I expect that there will be a ton of people out there, so I am hoping for any off-the-beaten-path info. I will be coming from the south.

Downing's Landing in Alton Bay is open 24 hours/day.

The ramp at Winter Harbor, Libby Museum is always open and outside of downtown Wolfeboro. Parking is allowed in the museum parking lot.

Thanks to you both. How much are the fees at these ramps?

I launch regularly out of:
West Alton Marina ($20)
Shep Browns ($20)
Center Harbor (free if there after/before the attendant)
Lees Mills (free)
19 Mile Bay
....none of these have even been closed when I've launched as early as 4AM and pulled out as late at 9PM. The fee based ramps often use drop boxes (West Alton) though I think if you launch and take out of Sheps before and after store hours, you get in and out for free.

Thanks Mike. So it looks like I won't have to make any special arrangements for the night of the 3rd. Cool. I'm really looking forward to the slow cruise back after the fireworks at midnight.

Hey Duke, you keep mentioning the night of the 3rd (Sunday night) for fireworks, Most fireworks are Monday night the 4th. Am I reading your post wrong? It does make more sense to have them on a Sunday night than a Monday night but it is what it is. I would hate to have you get up there a day early.

Good Luck

FYI-
Center Harbor July 4, 9:00 PM
Wolfeboro July 4, 9:30 PM
Meredith July 4, 9:30 PM

I was only going by this: http://www.weirsonline.com/fireworks.htm and saw that they had the fireworks at midnight on the 3rd. Thanks for keeping on eye on the post though.
