MANCHESTER, NH – The Manchester Water Works announced on Aug. 22 both of the trailered boat launches at Lake Massabesic are closed until further notice. This includes Claire’s Landing in Auburn and the Chester Road launch facility at the Auburn/Manchester town line.
Due to the current drought conditions, water level in the lake has reached a point where the boat launches are not functional and water quality can not be maintained. Once the water level comes back up to an allowable level, the boat launches will be reopened.
The car-top boat (kayak/canoe) launch at Deer Neck Bridge is still open and available for public use.
