Reviews on States Landing boat launch?

psherry · 07-01-2012, 08:55 AM

Thank you everone for your responses. I think I will stay away from the States Landing ramp. I have a 23' Chris Craft and would prefer to not get the trailer stuck in the sand to start off my week. A few extra minutes in the car to get the boat in the water safely is well worth it.

As a previous resident of Suissvale indicated in a earlier post, if I could put in at the Suissvale marina that would be ideal. THE EAGLE, do you think this would be permitted? I can bring my trailer to the home we are renting, I am just looking to throw the boat in some place close.

Otherwise it looks like the 2 closest ramps are in Lee's Mill and Melvin Village. If Suissvale is not an option I think I will put in at Lee's Mill since I have been there before and know the waters a little bit.

A ne boat ramp was installed at Lee's Mills a few years ago. I am sure it would be fine to put your boat in there.

Lees Mills is a great facility in great condition. It's a pretty long boat ride out to Moultonboro Bay with lots of hazards on the way. Make sure you bring a Bizer or have a GPS with Navionics on it and pay attention as some hazards are right in the middle. You might want to consider 19 Mile Bay. The ramp is fine and you can leave your trailer at the parking lot about a mile up the road from the launch. MUCH easier ride to Moultonboro Bay from here.

The parking lot at 19 Mile Bay is for Tuftonboro residents. You can park during the day but if you want to leave it there overnight, you need a parking permit. You can only leave your trailer there if it is attached to your vehicle.

As you mentioned, Lees Mill would be your best bet.

If you are JUST south of Swissvale the Lee's Mills boat ramp would be much closer than the Nineteen Mile Bay ramp.
