living at the lake - FOR GUESTS & RENTERS

WHAT WE CAN DO TO KEEP LAKE ARMINGTON CLEAN & SAFE


PREVENT INVASIVE SPECIES – like milfoil and zebra mussels

Invasive aquatic species are brought in on boats, kayaks/canoes from infested water bodies

  • Clean, Drain and Dry your boat, trailer, kayak, canoe and fishing gear after use
  • Ask a Lake Host at the public boat ramp about your boat      

PROTECT WILDLIFE

  • Enjoy the loons but please do not follow them closely, or disturb them on their nests
  • If a loon calls out in alarm or rears up and flaps its wings, it means "back off!  This applies to both boaters and swimmers
  • When fishing, use gear that won’t harm loons or other wildlife
  • Do not use lead sinkers or leave behind tangled fishing line

SOUND TRAVELS

  • All sounds travel readily and clearly across our mountain lake
  • Neighbors may easily hear more than we realize
  • Sounds, such as dogs persistently barking and loud music, can ruin others' enjoyment of the lake

WATER QUALITY – keep our lake clean

Many cottages get their household water directly from the lake. People enjoy swimming in it. So, please

  • Do not feed ducks and geese to prevent droppings on shore, docks, floats
  • Bathe and do laundry in the house, not in the lake
  • Use biodegradable soap to prevent phosphorous in lake water

BOATING SAFETY – NH’s 150’ Rule

Power boats of 25 HP or more must maintain no wake/headway speed (6 mph) when within 150 feet of:

  • Shore, docks, rafts, floats
  • Swimmers, permitted swimming areas
  • Mooring fields
  • Sailboats, kayaks, canoes, rowboats and other vessels

HEADWAY SPEED AREAS

  • Headway/No wake speed is required in the Narrows and the smaller part of the lake
  • Watch for unmarked rocks, logs and other submerged obstructions, especially near shore, in the Narrows and the smaller part of the lake

NH BOAT REGISTRATION AND OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS

  • Boat operators must be 16 or older and have a NH boater education certificate
  • Powered  boats (25+ HP) and sailboats over 12’ must be registered and display bow  numbers and stickers

WATER SKIING AND PERSONAL WATERCRAFT

  • Water skiing is allowed from sunup to sundown in NH. Not at dusk or after dark
  • Water skiing is not permitted in the smaller part of the lake due to 150' Rule headway/no wake speed restriction
  • A boat operator and a spotter must be in the ski-boat. The spotter must be physically able to assist the person being towed behind the boat
  • ALWAYS wear a personal flotation device (PFD) when underway on the water
  • Jet-skis and motorized personal watercraft are banned on Lake Armington by NH state law. Violators are ticketed and fined.
