Default Gilford's Lincoln Park

Parking for about 10 cars, a steep hillside town park with long distance views across the lake and to the Ossipee Mountains. Expect a somewhat difficult launch and retrieval across a steep rocky embankment, and dragg'n your kayaks up and down a steep grassy park area slope....but definately doable for the motivated kayaker. It's not too difficult!

What this location offers is immediate access to a 'big water' area of the lake. This area is used for scheduled sailboat races by the www.lwsa.org.

Lincoln Park is located on Scenic Drive in Gilford, about one mile's drive from the Glendale Town docks and parking. Unlike Glendale, it appears that no parking sticker is required by the town to park at Lincoln Park for up to two hours.

Extremely scenic spot! In two hours, one may be able to paddle across to the islands, and return.

Should a kayaker have the bad fortune to overturn, the summer lake is full of helpfull boaters and jetskiers who are always happy to assist.
