Ever see the one year old State Fish & Game-Winnisquam boat launch, double ramps, dock, parking and toilet that the state shoe-horned into a defunct NH DES water treatment facility by creating it within the limited space between old water treatment cistern-tanks. It is located on the Winnipesaukee River, about 100-yards upstream from Lake Winnisquam, in Laconia, and was first opened in the summer of 2009.

Taking design features that were employed at Winnisquam, it seems pretty obvious that a boat launch could probably be built on the undeveloped launch that currently exists at the Ellacoya rv campground, immediately next to Lake Shore Park.

Is there enough room for both a new public launch ramp & dock, a new public sailing center, and the existing 37-campsites ($47/nite) rv campground? That is a good question?

Reading the newspapers, one reads how the NH State Parks and the NH Fish & Game are low on money needed to fix leaky roofs and pay for search & rescues. Why not do what the federal government does in the White Mt Nat'l Forest, by installing green steel pay deposit tubes at the boat launches. Say...$10-dollars for either a launch or a retrieve.....honor system basis.....with a $75-dollar fine for any launch ramp deadbeats. The Forest Sevice in the WMNF hits you with a 75-dollar fine for evading their 3-dollar parking fee.

Another good question is: Who gets the money, the state park, the sail center, the F&G, or some employee who's stuff'n the cash into his/her pocket? I volunteer myself to collect & count this new source of ten dollar bills and will be happy to do it!
