Knopps Pond

Knopps Pond offers a public concrete boat ramp located off Lost Lake Drive at the northeastern end of the pond in Groton, Massachusetts. The ramp is situated between Rocky's Point and Pine Trail and includes a small parking area. This access point welcomes both motorized and non-motorized boats, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters of all types.

The pond itself is a scenic glacial feature reaching depths of approximately 30 feet in its southern section. It's well-stocked with trout species (rainbow, brown, and brook) during spring and fall, and also supports warm-water fish including largemouth bass, chain pickerel, sunfish, and bluegill. The surrounding area features classic New England topography with esker ridges, and the pond is conveniently located just 20 miles west of Boston, near the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge and other regional recreation opportunities. This makes Knopps Pond an accessible option for a half-day paddle or fishing trip in the greater Boston area.
