Fred Garner Park Access
Fred Garner Park Access
Fred Garner Park offers an excellent developed boat access point on Pomeroy Avenue in Pittsfield with plenty of off-road parking and a well-maintained ramp for launching canoes and kayaks onto the East Branch Housatonic River.
The park was improved in 2008 following PCB remediation and features an expansive lawn, picnic areas, and a network of hiking trails alongside the river.
This is a popular starting point for paddling downstream toward Decker Landing in Lenox, with the river soon merging with the West Branch to form the main stem.
