If you hear from them, be sure to let us know what they had to say. Will dogs also be banned from the newly refurbished town beach?
When my "Hooch" and "Lady" were still alive, they would love to take a ride in the Jeep and take a dip at the boat ramp at either Manning Lake or Crystal Lake...right in your neck of the woods. Also the beach at the Boy Scout Camp at Lake Eileen is usually vacant most of the year and is a publicly accessible property. Usually, no one is around and you can let the doggies off the leash to romp around!

They are banned from the other town beach already I went and looked. They can't go anywhere over at the new one not even under the pavillion thing. I was going to call the Boy Scout caretaker and ask about using their property, they already said we can use the trails with the horses.
I don't know where on Crystal Lake the boat ramp is, I'd rather go to an unoccupied spot (without the snappers!) and my kids tend to go to Crystal Lake more than the big one, there is sand and not that many people. I generally don't let them off lead away from home, I'm too worried they'd take off and get lost. They probably wouldn't, but it's one of my phobias
The thing is, both these are in Gilmanton and it's a sad day when Alton has nowhere for pet owners in town to work/play with their dogs in town. I had specifically asked about this too that's what really is upsetting. I asked if they'd close all beaches to dogs after the other park was finished. I guess it was OK as long as the other side was a dump

We're heading down there tomorrow to inquire the feasability of some sort of permit system or something being set up.
