Pittsfield, NH – The public boat access facility serving the Suncook River in Pittsfield will be closed from Friday, August 5 through Sunday, August 7. The closure will facilitate a safe public space for the 40th Annual Suncook Valley Hot Air Balloon Rally. During this time frame, there will be no opportunity to use the boat access location for any purpose.

NH Fish and Game's Statewide Public Boat Access Program is funded through boat registration fees and federal Wildlife and Sport Fish 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.

Wow, Hot Air Balloons can be launched from any FIELD, they're closing down a Publicly Paid for boat ramp, in the middle of the summer, for THIS?
What a disgrace

Yeah, it's pretty sad. The heyday of NH being a fisherman friendly state are gone.

There are HOA's and other groups with very deep pockets that want all public boat ramps removed. If they are boat owners they have property on the lake shore and private docks.

Basically they feel like it is their lake because they live on it and pay such high property taxes. They don't want "outsiders" allowed on it.

Sad indeed!
