How's the hand carry location that is mentioned to be in the Opechee Bay State Forest ... http://recplanet.com/nh/laconia/opec...y-state-forest ... on the map ... up the north end of Opechee, walking down through the state forest, or something? Does that get any paddle users who hand tow a kayak on a two wheel dolly, or a 30-lb sup, or is it basically never used by anyone for launching without a car and trailer? Is there a parking area for cars that is relatively close to the put-in spot on the water, there?

Is there a hand carry put-in dock?

Click on the + in the map, and there's a little more detail?

The other drawing .... https://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/map...ee_laconia.pdf ..... shows a small drawing with two paddlers in a canoe .... to indicate the canoe launch in the Opechee Bay State Forest and the water depth, there, looks probably shallow.

How's the fishing? Does it get stocked by Fish & Game or does it just attract the fish without any stocking from the Winnipesaukee River?

Here's an aerial photo ...... https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/g...summary/870957 ..... that shows Opechee Bay location between Paugus Bay and Lake Winnisquam, all connected by the Winnipesaukee River. You need to click on the - sign to see Opechee.

Old North Main St, Laconia NH and Google Earth have a best photo, look-see to really see the Opechee Bay State Forest canoe launch from that Google see everything, everywhere, know-it-all, all-the-time, eye-high-up-in-the-sky, ho-ho-ho!
