Best Boat Launch Near Center Harbor

dire14 · 06-19-2006, 02:13 PM

I am not sure how much space I have to park at the cottage I may very well be able to park it there I should be able to shimmy it in somewhere I guess. I thought center harbor had a ramp, but wasn't sure you dont hear much about any other ramps than the main two I mentioned. Would the ramp be easy to get in and out of about 9am on a saturday morning? Trying to make this go as smoothly as possible. I appreciate the help

I think Goodhue Marine (my memory is terrible so I am probably wrong) has a facility right next to the ramp. They also have a trailer storage facility on route 25 headed east from the ramp. They will let you park the trailer there all week for a small fee. I used them last year.

Dire14:

0900 on a Sat. should be no problem. There should be dock space to give you timer to dump the trailer.

There is a $10 launch fee if there is someone there to collect it. If so, do make sure that the attendant is a town employee. A few years ago an enterprising college student with chutzpah was collecting the fees, helping to launch and even giving out recipts. It turns out that he was a freelancer!

Good luck!
