Shep Browns is a public launch on Meredith Neck Road... nice paved launch. No charge to launch... open 24 hours. Go during the day first and ask about parking though... they have a certain lot for it.

Center Harbor is a good launch... if you launch early you won't see any attendant collecting money, but when you come back in you probably will? I've only been there three times since Memorial Day (when they start charging) and have only been asked for a fee once. I think they charged me $10-15 but I'm not positive which?

The launch in downtown Meredith (at the docks) has a charge as well. Personally I wouldn't go there. The ramp doesn't accomodate bigger boats well at all. I've seen more than one person hang their trailer up on the back side of the ramp. Its also a madhouse when its time to pull the boat out of the water.

Thanks for the info, we never had the boat with us in the summer. We have fished the derby a number of times. We are staying in a condo near Weirs, so we have to pull it every day. Hope to see some of you guys on the water. Thanks again!
