Wilder Dam Boat Ramp provides access to the Connecticut River on NH Route 10 between West Lebanon and Hanover, though parking is located on the north (non-river) side of the road, requiring you to carry your boat across a busy highway.

This is a tricky launching point not recommended for novice boaters, and the river below the dam may sometimes be very low, so checking conditions ahead of time is essential.

The site serves as a portage point for paddlers navigating the Connecticut River Paddlers Trail, with a 400-yard portage required to access the river below the dam.
