Boat Launch - Paugus Bay / Meredith?

StormPanic · 07-14-2015, 02:54 PM

Renting on Paugus Bay the week of 7/25. Have used the Meredith ramp in the past but there is a classic boat show that day in Meredith so was not sure if the ramp would be open on 7/25. If not I guess my other option in the area is Christmas Island?

I don't think Christmas Island is open anymore, I use thurstons and store my trailer with them when I am there for 2 weeks. Actually heading up this Saturday Can't wait!

Lakeport Landing has a launch, last year it was $20. in and out. Christmas Island is gone... for now.

You need to get back at a reasonable hour as they padlock the ramp.

Not sure if Paugus Bay Marina allow launching.

I've used Irwin's in the past and it's been real easy. They'll even launch your boat for you if needed.

I like putting in at Fays in Gilford. Great staff and an excellent location on the big lake.

Lakeport Landing says they are no longer open to the public for launching.

Christmas Island, as reported, no can do.

Not on Lake Winnipesaukee, but pretty close to Paugus Bay on the Winnipesaukee River and Lake Winnisquam; the State of NH has a very well constructed state boat launch with parking for boat & trailer in Laconia behind the Boulia-Gorrell Lumber Co. And, it is my type of a price for trailer boaters......... no-charge! Lake Winnisquam is huge, and has no speed limit for motor boats so you can really open it up ...... something you cannot do on the 45-mph-max Winnipesaukee.
