There are 3 public docks on Meredith Neck. Two are at Shep Brown's with a pubic launch ramp free to Meredith Residents. The public trailer parking is up the hill on the south side of the road. Don't park a trailer in the paved public lot.

The is a public dock and parking at Cattle Landing but no launch ramp.

Yeah. The far end of that parking lot at the hardware store is designated trailer parking. If that's full, there's another lot a little further up for trailers.

My guess is that the hardware store owners offer that in hopes of getting "walk-in" traffic. It makes sense.

Also, if you stay in the water for more than one day, you can get a permit from the Meredith Police so you can leave your trailer. I'm not sure how they'll let you stay. But I've done that a couple weekends here and there with no trouble.
