About This Access Site
The Wolfeboro Yacht Club provides boat ramp access to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake. Located in downtown Wolfeboro, this access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to launch onto the expansive 71-square-mile lake. The site is situated at coordinates 43.58° N, 71.22° W in Carroll County.

Lake Winnipesaukee offers diverse paddling opportunities across its 182-mile shoreline, with numerous islands, coves, and protected bays. Paddlers should be prepared for variable conditions, as the lake can experience significant wind and wave activity, particularly in open waters. For those seeking calmer paddling, Back Bay (accessible via Railroad Avenue near the old train station) provides an alternative entry point, though note the 4.2-foot bridge clearance restriction. Additional public launch options include Downing's Landing in nearby Alton Bay to the south. Contact the Town of Wolfeboro for current access policies, parking information, and any applicable fees at the yacht club facility.
