Choose from the following to find a site:
The USDA Forest Service shares responsibility for managing wildlife resources on the White Mountain National Forest with the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. These wildlife agencies are responsible for regulating fishing laws and regulations in their respective states.
Because the White Mountain National Forest includes land in both the state of New Hampshire and the state of Maine, it is the responsibility of those hunting or fishing to have the appropriate state permit or license, depending on which side of the state border one is in.
To learn more, including how to obtain a fishing license, visit the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department or Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife websites.
