Belknap Woods provides carry-in boat access for canoes and kayaks to Dog Cove on Squam Lake, located at the mouth of Dog Cove off Route 25-B in Center Harbor.

This 130-acre forest also features a network of trails for hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, making it a multi-use recreation area.

Parking is available on the south boundary of Squam Lake roughly a mile down NH-25B on the right side of the road.
