This north end location on 449-acre Opechee Bay ... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opechee_Bay ..... of the existing NH-DES sewerage pump station already has a paved 300-yard long road that goes down to this state utility shed which is about 30-yards from the Opechee shoreline within the Opechee Bay State Forest.

Bond Beach is the only Laconia public swim area with lifeguards and it is not too far, across the Bay, from the DES sewerage pump shed, waterfront location.

The NH F&G and NH DES already have worked together in Laconia to create a boat launch on the Winnipesaukee River, close to Lake Winnisquam, so's they can do the same with this Opechee sewerage utilty shed and road with a hand carry launch and parking.

The smooth, shallow, sandy flat bottom in Opechee Bay at the sewerage pump shed location is ideal for beginners and everyone to get in a kayak, or paddle a sup, plus it is not too far to the lifeguards at Bond Beach.

Unlike most of Opechee Bay, the shoreline of the Opechee Bay State Forest is all pine trees with no residential homes, plus the 'lake' bottom is smooth, sandy, and shallow.

With an F & G hand carry launch, the Opechee Bay State Forest would no longer be so attractive to homeless stealth campers because it would be easier accessed by the Laconia Police.

Opechee Bay State Forest, NH-DES, and NH F&G are all State of NH agencies, while the City of Laconia co-exists with the State of NH. Laconia has a population of about 15000-residents, is promoted as the the "City on the Lakes" and paddling or rowing a small vessel is a very different type of personal activity than motor-boating.
