► State Boating Requirements (NASBLA) - When traveling, using this guide, you'll know ahead of time what each state requires concerning Safe Boating Requirements.

► USPS Vessel Inspections - Minimize the loss of life, personal injury, property damage and environmental impact while maximizing the safe use and enjoyment of U.S. waterways by recreational boaters. The Vessel Safety Check process is one of "prevention through education, outreach and volunteer compliance" helping recreational boaters to gain a respect for the boating environment. Volunteer inspectors will perform a no-risk, no punishment inspection of your vessel using both State and Federal guidelines for the inspection. The inspectors are not law-enforcement officers so even a failed inspection won't hurt your boating day but it will let you know of possible violations if the CG or State Marine Patrol should stop you.

► Depth Maps of Selected NH Lakes and Ponds- The lake depth/contour ("bathymetry") maps linked from this page were created using data collected by the NH Department of Environmental Services survey crew.
