Mashpee/Wakeby Pond

The Mashpee/Wakeby Pond boat ramp, located off Route 130 in Mashpee, provides state-maintained concrete launching access to these popular freshwater kettle ponds. The facility features a large paved ramp and a 30-vehicle parking lot, managed by the Town of Mashpee in partnership with the Massachusetts Office of Fishing and Boating Access. This is a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the ponds.

Mashpee/Wakeby Pond is a heavily used recreation area known for boating, fishing (both bass and trout), and swimming. Paddlers should note that there is no public beach on the ponds where boats can be pulled ashore, so plan your trip accordingly if you need a landing spot. The location also puts you within reach of nearby recreation areas, including the Cape Cod Canal and Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, offering opportunities to explore Cape Cod's diverse waterways.
