Thousand Acre Pond Boat Ramp

This boat launch on Hotchkiss Road in New Marlborough provides access to Thousand Acre Swamp Reservoir via a small dirt parking area (accommodating at least 6 cars) and a gentle 14% slope launch with mostly dirt descent and shallow water entry.

The launch is best suited for small boats, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards rather than large motorized vessels due to dense vegetation, and a portage trail connects to the remote East Indies Pond for those seeking quieter exploration.
