Mashapaug Lake Boat Ramp provides access to this scenic 200-acre lake in northeastern Connecticut's Bigelow Hollow State Park. The concrete slab boat ramp is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. Parking for up to 100 vehicles is available near the ramp, which offers disability access.
Mashapaug Lake is part of the larger 9,000-acre Bigelow Hollow State Park and Forest, offering miles of hiking trails and other recreational opportunities. In addition to Mashapaug, the park features boat ramps on Bigelow, Breakneck, and Griggs ponds. The lake itself is a scenic, relatively shallow waterbody, making it well-suited for paddling and small boats. Boaters should be aware of any applicable regulations or restrictions for the lake.
For those interested in further exploring the Mashapaug Lake area, nearby Buffumville Lake and Conant Brook Dam also offer a range of outdoor recreation options, from BMX trails to horseback riding and mountain biking. With its scenic setting and variety of access points, Mashapaug Lake is an appealing destination for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters in northeastern Connecticut.
