About This Access Site
The Ossipee River boat ramp in Effingham provides public access to the Ossipee River via Route 25 east off Route 16 in Center Ossipee. This approximately 15-foot-wide ramp accommodates small to medium-sized boats and is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and other recreational watercraft. The site offers free trailer parking available 24 hours, along with handicap-accessible facilities including dock and pier access. Seasonal restrooms are available on-site.
