New Hampshire has hundreds of marinas located all over the state. They are excellent resources for information about boating in their local waters as are New Hampshire's many outfitters and guides.
Other resources include: The Handbook of New Hampshire's Boating Laws and Responsibilities, which is available online for free from the New Hampshire Department of Safety, Marine Patrol Bureau.
On New Hampshire's 1,300 lakes and ponds, there are many put ins and points of access. NH Fish and Game has an interactive fishing access map with more than 200 sites where you can launch a boat or fish from shore.
Please note: All those 16 years of age or older who operate a powerboat with an engine in excess of 25 horsepower (including electric powered motors) on the public waters in New Hampshire must have a valid safe boating education certificate. Compliance is being phased in over seven years with compliance for all boaters by January 1, 2008. For more on this, see the Boater Education Information on the Marine Patrol Bureau pages online.
