Lake Host
The Lake Host Program
Clean water, happy wildlife, and stable property values depend on a healthy lake, free of invasive species. The NH LAKES Lake Host Program is the first line of defense in keeping our lakes free of invasive plants and animals.
Lake Hosts offer free complimentary boat inspections and teach boaters about the Clean, Drain & Dry method for aquatic invasive species prevention.
They also protect your lake by capturing the invasive species that hitchhike on boats, trailers, or recreation gear before they can ruin the lake you love. Curious to see what ‘saves’ have been made recently? Click here!
You can expect to see a Lake Host on duty at some of the most popular boat launch sites in New Hampshire. Look for the iconic Lake Host uniform—a royal blue t-shirt and a big smile!
