About This Access Site
Greenfield State Park offers a boat ramp providing access to Otter Lake, a 135-acre lake in southwestern New Hampshire. The park's 400-acre setting features forest, ponds, and bogs, making it an attractive destination for paddlers and anglers. The lake is ideal for kayaking and canoeing, with a motorized boat speed limit of trolling speed or lower, creating a peaceful paddling environment.

**Launch Details:** The boat ramp is narrow with limited trailer parking, so arrive early during peak times. Otter Lake supports both shoreline and boat fishing. Beyond water activities, Greenfield State Park offers camping, hiking, swimming, and picnicking, with amenities including a small store and playground. Nearby recreation areas like Edward MacDowell Lake and Wapack National Wildlife Refuge provide additional exploration opportunities in the region.
