Down Old North Main St., and down an un-named paved road, there is a large 40'x40'x15' tall, all red brick utility shed, that is the NH-Dept Environmental Services, Old North Main St sewerage pumping station.

There is no signs what-so-ever indicating a canoe/kayak launch, so's I parked out of the way, and walked down to the water's edge directly behind this sewerage shed, there, on this north end of Opechee Bay.

It is an incredibly beautiful lakefront location, behind this big sewerage shed, for launching a kayak, canoe or paddle board. The shoreline belongs to either the NH State Forest or the DES, and the lake bottom is a smooth shallow sandy bottom with pine trees growing right up to the shoreline waterfront area. The immediate area on the land is littered with a demolished temporary unknown small structure and all that crapola wants to be removed to the town dump, and the grounds need a good raking and debris removal.

There are two signs attached to trees that say 'No Camping' but according to these maps in the links, above, it is a designated, hand carry, canoe launch, State of NH location on this gorgeous north end of Opechee Bay.

Is now time to grab your kayak or sup and hit that Opechee Bay, down behind this big, ugly, DES sewerage pumping shed, down the bottom of Old North Main St.

All things considered, same is true for the launch ramp on the south end of Opechee, directly across from Irwin Ford-Toyota.

What I DIS-like is this fantastic, fabulous, beautiful Opechee Bay, State of NH ... https://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/map...ee_laconia.pdf ... location has apparently gone unused for launching kayaks, canoes and sups when it could be a VERY happening spot especially with its very smooth sandy bottom that very gradually gets a wee bit deeper as one paddles out there.
