The Windsor Pond Boat Launch offers boaters a paved entry point to Windsor Pond, a 48-acre waterbody in eastern Berkshire County. The launch area includes a 12-space parking lot adjacent to the only point publicly available to access the pond's shore. Typically quiet and ideal for boating, kayaking, or fishing, Windsor Pond averages a depth of 21 feet, reaches a maximum depth of 55 feet, and has limited (and consolidated) aquatic vegetation. Additionally, the pond fosters the growth of and hosts a diverse range of fish species, not limited to large pickerel and stocked rainbow and brook trout. Regardless of desired aquatic activities, Windsor Pond offers visitors a beautiful and calm atmosphere. Trees, mountains, and homes surround the water in this sparsely populated town, highlighting the pond as an ideal Western Massachusetts landscape.
The Windsor Pond Boat Launch is located off West Main Street and is managed by the Massachusetts Division of Conservation and Recreation. Cleaning all recreational equipment meant to enter the pond is essential before arriving at the boat launch. Kayaks, boats, paddleboards, etc., can carry nuisance species from other bodies of water and damage the ecosystem in Windsor Pond (and elsewhere). Visitors should always be conscious of their equipment use when exploring different water bodies with the same equipment.
