CONCORD — Whether you explore New Hampshire’s 1,000 lakes by motorboat, canoe, kayak, paddle board or sailboat, you know a day on the lake is like a trip to paradise.

But dealing with long-spindly stems of the invasive milfoil plant wrapped around the boat motor or a paddle can ruin your day in paradise. So, too, can the razor sharp shells of the invasive zebra mussel cutting your feet while wading in the lake. You can help keep New Hampshire’s waters paradise by taking the “Pledge to Be Invasive-Free” and always taking time to clean, drain, and dry your boat, trailer, and gear between waterbodies.
