**Location & Access:** Island Pond is located in Washington, Sullivan County, NH. The primary canoe and kayak launch is situated on Stickney Road and features water access via a set of steps. This shallow-water launch (only a few feet deep) is ideal for non-motorized watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. Note that access requires completion of a Fisherman's application process; contact Big Island Pond Corporation for current application requirements and access fees.
**Facility Details:** The launch accommodates a small number of vehicles and trailers. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly. There are no restroom facilities on-site. The shallow depth and step access make this launch unsuitable for motorized boats or trailered vessels. Nearby John Hay National Wildlife Refuge offers additional recreation opportunities in the area.
**Conditions & Planning:** Island Pond is a small pond well-suited for paddlers seeking calm-water recreation. Check with the Big Island Pond Corporation or New Hampshire Fish & Game Department (603-271-3511) for current access policies, application status, and any seasonal considerations before your visit.
