Lake Host Program

A grant from the New Hampshire Lakes Association allows us to provide more than 24 hours per weekend of monitoring the boat access site at Lagace Beach on Rt. 11. A trained Lake Host provides a friendly face to visiting boaters while they teach boaters how to prevent the spread of invasive water plants such as variable milfoil, complete a brief boater survey, conduct a courtesy boat and trailer inspection, and remove any vegetation found & dispose of it in an approved manner.

How you can protect the lake

Operate your boat at headway speed in shallow area to minimize disturbance to sediments and vegetation. Churning up the nutrient-laden sediments promotes algae.

Water-ski or tube as far from the shore as possible to also avoid stirring up sediments.

Stay clear of large weed patches while operating a powerboat to lesson the likelihood of spreading fragments to other sections of the lake.

Observe the 150 ft. safe passage distance when near land, other boats, swimming areas or people. If you are within 150 ft. of these, by law you must reduce to headway speed.

If you use your boats, trailers and gear on other lakes, thoroughly wash everything before use in Webster Lake. This reduces the transfer of exotic aquatics, especially milfoil and zebra muscles, which spread rapidly and are almost impossible to eradicate.

Be familiar with the system of navigation used on all New Hampshire lakes. Have a general idea of why the different buoys are where they are. On Webster Lake they are usually marking a rock or shallow area. If you have questions, ask your neighbors or call the New Hampshire Marine Patrol in Glendale, NH at 603-293-2037.
