About Big Pond Boat Launch
The Big Pond boat launch is an excellent location for launching a boat onto Big Pond. The paved launch accommodates small to mid-size motor boats as well as canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards. Once on the water, boaters will navigate the outlet stream of Big Pond for 2/3rds of a mile before they reach the main body of water. This initial stream is a beautiful, undeveloped section of the lake with abundant birds. Once you get to open water, the lake opens up, revealing the vast 327-acre lake. The lake is almost entirely developed, but paddlers can enjoy a paddle of over 4 miles around the shore before heading back to the boat launch. Fishermen also frequent the lake, with populations of trout, bass, pickerel, bass, perch, bullhead, and many more.
