Lees Pond Boat Launch boat launch
Lees Pond Boat Launch
According to the latest information available from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, the boat ramp is suitable for launching small boats such as canoes, kayaks, and small motorized boats. However, due to the size of the pond and its low speed limit, larger boats are not recommended.
It is important to note that Lees Pond has a maximum speed limit of 6 mph, and non-motorized boats (such as canoes and kayaks) have the right of way at all times. Additionally, there are no gas-powered motors allowed on the pond, only electric motors are permitted.
Overall, Lees Pond boat launch is a small but convenient ramp for launching small boats and exploring the peaceful waters of Lees Pond.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About Lees Pond Boat Launch
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
