Second Connecticut Lake Access

Second Connecticut Lake offers a scenic and accessible launch point for paddlers and anglers in northern New Hampshire's remote North Country. The concrete boat ramp is located off Idlewilde Road (your first right turn north of the dam on Route 3) and features ample trailer parking and picnic facilities. The ramp is popular with both kayakers and canoeists seeking to explore this large, open water body.

The lake supports a healthy fishery including brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, and smallmouth bass, making it appealing for combined paddling and fishing trips. The 1,100+ acre lake provides excellent conditions for recreational boating and paddling in a scenic, undeveloped setting. The nearby Cohos Trail and Falls in the River area offer additional hiking and exploration opportunities for visitors to the region.
