The Crystal Lake boat ramp is a concrete launch located on Algonquin Road in Gilmanton, offering access to this 455-acre lake in Belknap County. The ramp is approximately 12 feet wide and provides ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers. Crystal Lake is a popular multi-use water body that accommodates motorboats, jet skis, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards.
**Important note for paddlers:** The ramp is primarily designed for motorized boats, and there is currently no dedicated launch or landing area for non-motorized craft. Kayakers and canoeists share the boat ramp with larger vessels, so please be courteous about keeping the ramp clear during peak use times. The lake itself is well-suited for paddling and offers opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming. Plan your launch during quieter periods if possible to minimize congestion with trailer boats.
