BRISTOL, N.H. -- The public boat access facility to Newfound Lake at Wellington State Park in Bristol, NH, will be closing for approximately two weeks to repair the dock pilings at the ramp. The closure will begin on the evening of Sunday, May 22, 2016. We hope to reopen the ramps on Saturday morning June 4, with the seasonal dock available later that week. Please check back to this site periodically as the exact day of the reopening will be announced here as soon as it can be confirmed.
During the repairs, both the cartop carry-in and trailer ramps will be within the safety zone setback of the crane and pile placement. For this reason the ramps will be closed and there will be no opportunity to launch or retrieve motorized boats, canoes, kayaks or other self- propelled craft during this time period. The parking area for the ramps will be closed to the public. The fee-based parking area for the beach at Wellington State Park will remain open.
New Hampshire's Public Boat Access Program is funded through boat registration fees and federal Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration funds. Fish and Game's Facilities Construction and Lands Division acquires land for public water access sites, refurbishes existing sites and builds new public boat access areas.
