| : Pontoosuc Lake |
This 480 acre raised great pond has a maximum depth of 35 feet and an average depth of 14
feet. Transparency is normally 11 feet, but this can be highly variable, sometimes dropping to six
feet or less following heavy rainfalls. The bottom is composed of muck and gravel, with the gravel
predominating in the south end. Aquatic vegetation is abundant, extending to depths of 10 feet or
more from most of the shoreline, and it is particularly thick in the northern coves. The shoreline is
densely developed and the lake supports heavy recreational use throughout the year.
Public access is provided by a double, surfaced ramp owned by the Public Access Board. It
is suitable for launching virtually all classes of trailer boats. Attached parking areas provide space
to park up to 75 vehicles. The ramps and parking areas are located off Hancock Road on the
extreme southern end of the lake, just off Route 7. Shoreline fishing opportunities are virtually
nonexistent, although there is a causeway section on the northwestern end of the lake suitable for
fishing. Two brooks, which feed the lake —Secum Brook and Town Brook —, are stocked trout
waters.
