*Accessibility Index
In an effort to help people with disabilities identify public access sites suitable for their use, the N.H. Fish and Game Department has applied an "Accessibility Index" rating system. The system will eventually be posted at all Fish and Game Department owned or controlled access sites. We will encourage other access site operators to use the same system for future map editions.
