LD 1448 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Provide Winter Access To The Bog Lake Public Boat Launch In Northfield

LD 1448 requires the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to keep the gate open at Bog Lake public boat launch in Northfield from January 1 to March 15 annually. This bill directly affects winter users of the boat launch and the state agency managing the facility. The key provision mandates a specific, year-round open period for the gate, replacing any previous seasonal closures. This policy change ensures consistent public access without requiring additional permits or fees during those months.
