About This Access Site
The Candia Road Boat Ramp provides trailer access to Massabesic Lake in Auburn, located in Rockingham County. This Manchester Water Works facility is a dedicated trailer ramp, making it suitable for launching motorboats, kayaks, and canoes. The ramp is situated on the eastern side of the lake, offering convenient access to one of New Hampshire's larger water bodies (approximately 2,560-2,900 acres).

Massabesic Lake is a popular destination for recreational boating and paddling, with calm, protected waters ideal for both kayaking and canoeing. The lake's size provides ample room for exploration, and multiple access points around the lake (including Clair's Landing and Deer Neck Cartop Launch) allow for flexible trip planning. The Candia Road location serves boaters who prefer vehicle access and trailer launching capabilities.

For trip planning, paddlers should note that this is an established Manchester Water Works facility and may have seasonal restrictions or access policies. Contact Manchester Water Works or local authorities for current information on fees, operating hours, and any regulations specific to this launch.
