..... a Lincoln Park public dock?

[fatlazyless]

....for starters....to give this discussion some better definition......suggest you go see Slickcraft's excellent photograph of Lincoln Park, Lake Winnipesaukee, and the Ossipee Mountains beyond in the nearby 'Ice Out Progress' thread ....... post #133 .... thanks!

Looking at this one acre sized Lincoln Park, Town of Gilford property ..... shown above in an excellent photo .... one has to wonder how come the town does not have a wood staircase of about ten feet height going down the steep embankment, and a town public dock out on the water here to give the public access to the water?

Could be a totally excellent improvement?

Young sail boaters from the nearby www.lwsa.org, about 1/3-mile up Saunders Bay, next to Fay's Boat Yard could use it for a sailboat access point. Ditto that for motor boaters, and ditto that for kayakers, and sup stand up paddleboards. Maybe the nearby NH Marine Patrol and Gilford Fire Dept could use it for picking up/dropping someone or some item to a waiting boat?

Instead of having a staircase and a public dock, what the town has is that no trespassing sign atop the embankment intended to keep people away from the water.

Just something to think about while winter continues to hang around, and ice out seems to be a long ways out there?

I know there's always ten different reasons why something cannot be done, so how about some support for why it would be a good thing to give Gilford residents a place to access the water here!

Lincoln Park has flat, level parking space for about 8-cars at the top of the sloping, one acre, park land, and is located in a residential shoreline area.
