Hi,
Kind of like Nippo, tough to get on. That launch by the dam was closed years ago. Rumor has it that kids were partying, cops came and chased them in woods,a few kids backtracked and drove the cruiser into the lake! Can't confirm this.  The launch is right of RT 4 and is gated and posted. I think you could walk in but doubtful about using an ATV. You could also park on Hall Rd. and talke the long walk down to the lake through the UNH Rec Area. I fished it once 5 years back and got skunked and thus never returned. If you go, let me know how you did.

I heard some place it was good crappie fishing. I have no idea on how to access it.

I've looked and tried to get in there - don't think you can get there by quad.  Only by walking via the UNH property, and even there you can't park anywhere.

I took this off there web site for Mendums and UNH
