West Alton Marina is on Rt. 11 near the intersection of Rt. 11 and Rt. 11A (which goes up the mountain to the Gunstock Ski Resort). Coming from Alton Bay, it is roughly 7 miles from the bridge at the tip of the Bay. Driving toward Gilford from Alton Bay, Rt. 11 will increase from 30 MPH to 35 MPH, to 50 MPH and then to 55 MPH. You will drive past a "Scenic View" on the right side of Rt. 11 that looks out over the mouth of Alton Bay. Continue on Rt. 11 past the Mt. Major parking area on the left side of the road. Shortly thereafter you will see Rt. 11D meet Rt. 11 on your right, and the speed limit will reduce to 40 MPH. You will then go around some curves in the road, and just past the curves Rt. 11A will be on your left and West Alton Marina will be on your right. There's a sign at the entrance to West Alton Marina's driveway. Turn into the driveway and follow it back to the marina.
