**Location & Access:** Lake Raponda is a 124-acre recreational lake located on Lake Raponda Road near Old Stage Road in Wilmington, Vermont. The public boat launch features a gravel ramp designed for small boats and is suitable for kayaks and canoes. The shallow maximum depth of 12 feet makes this an ideal destination for paddlers seeking calm, protected water.
**Fishing & Recreation:** The lake supports good fishing opportunities, particularly for smallmouth bass and trout. Nearby Townshend Lake, just a short distance away, offers comparable fishing with a 10-hp motor limit and additional boat launch facilities. Both lakes are excellent options for paddlers interested in fishing or exploring scenic mountain scenery in the Windham County area.
**Planning Your Visit:** Given the gravel ramp and small-boat designation, this site works best for kayaks, canoes, and smaller recreational watercraft. Check conditions before launching, especially during early spring runoff or after heavy rain when gravel access areas may be affected. The scenic Appalachian setting makes this a pleasant destination for a day paddle in southern Vermont.
