Swimming

Wadleigh State Park is a peaceful and safe place for anyone to swim, particularly families. It offers a roped off area for children to splash in, barbecue fireplaces, picnic tables and rest rooms. The long, clean sandy beach is perfect for lounging and wildlife viewing. The eagles and loons are visible to the naked eye most summer days from here and evening sunsets can be outstanding.

​

KLPA and the YMCA of Concord are offering swimming lessons this summer for Preschool and Youth, ages 3-14.

Boating

There are a variety of boats on Kezar — canoes, kayaks, sculls, sailboats, motorboats, paddle boards. The public boat ramp is at Horse Beach. At peak times, this area becomes busy with Lake Hosts checking boats for hitchhiking invasives, like milfoil and zebra mussels, which can ruin the lake if introduced. Clean, drain and dry your boat prior to arriving to help speed things up at launch.

Jet skis, also known as ski craft, are banned on Kezar Lake.

Fishing

People come from all around NH to fish on Kezar.

The lake is small enough to be free from noise & crowds

on most days, but still large enough to contain many

interesting species including trout, perch & bass.

Species change over the years, with at least one added

mysteriously — ​the black crappie.

​

Fish Lead-Free to protect our environment!

Take old lead tackle to your town hazardous waste

collection day; to NH Fish & Game, Hazen Drive,

Concord; or give to a KLPA Lake Host for disposal.

Help keep our lake, eagles, loons & kids healthy!
