Boat Launch: Harillas, Long Island Beach or Center Harbor?

Revdoc · 07-16-2021, 09:18 AM

Thank you so much for the detailed information about the various launches/ramps. It is incredibly helpful. Sounds like each of them have their challenges.

Is there a different ramp (other than Moultonborough Beach, Center Harbor, and Harilla's) that you recommend or think works better?

I'm certainly willing to boat/drive a little further back to the cabin if there is a ramp that works better.

Thanks again for info..so helpful.

The Meredith boat launch ramp is used by a lot of people with various sized boats. It's a popular spot to launch. A little tight for longer boats lining up with the ramp. It's only about 15 minutes from the Center Harbor ramp. Sometimes there's a small fee and other times I don't see anyone collecting.

There is the Town of Moultonborough Boat ramp at the end of Lee's Mills Road. Pretty much a straight shot for the ramp. If you are on the other side of Long Island though it could be a longer ride to your destination.

For me the most user friendly ramp is Shep Browns/goodhue. Two ramps, steady incline, tons of room in and out of the water...and enough water to float a boat. They may have restricted parking now but there was plenty of room for cars and trailers in a back lot. It was never busy on a weekday and you pay at the marina. Calm area no matter the weather and in the middle of Center Harbor...Long Island...Weirs...and Meredith.
