Ellacoya State Beach and all NH state parks will be totally free on Thursday, August 25 because it is the 100th anniversary of the National Park System. It usually costs four dollars for adults.
Wonder what's up with the high bacteria warning from Tuesday, August 23...... is it safe to go in the water there? That could be an unusual situation if the beach there has those bright orange bacteria warning signs from the NH-DES posted at the waters edge ....... and the entry fee is free? Can that really happen? Like yes, it has high bacteria ...... but the price is free ....... so bring the whole family!
I know in Massachusetts, they would close the beach and swimming, but here in New Hampshire, they just post orange bacteria warning signs and leave the decision up to the individuals ........ live free or die? .... the decision is made by each individual town or in this case ... the state park.
Supposedly, according to a radio report yesterday on NHPR, you have to say 'Happy Birthday' to get in for free......regardless of any bacteria.
