This is a list of public ramps; Some good, some bad
and some just plain ugly. There are a lot of restrictions that aren't
very obvious. Check with either the Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) or
the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department ((603- 293-0091) for the
latest and most accurate info. Keep in mind that there are also
millions of private marinas and ramps in the state as well as access
to many lakes and ponds maintained by many towns that are hidden
secrets. (That's why I'm not telling you where they are) The Marine
Patrol is pretty on top of all of these as well. |
