Merton Millpond is a 34-acre lake in Hartland, Waukesha County, offering a public boat ramp for easy water access. The millpond has a maximum depth of 8 feet and provides good paddling conditions for kayaks and canoes. The access area includes a public park at the Merton Dam, making it a convenient launching point for exploring the pond upstream. Be aware that downstream paddling beyond the dam has limited access due to short concrete walls along the banks.
The millpond is popular with anglers targeting panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, so you may encounter fishing activity. The site features amenities including parking, picnic areas, and is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible. This calm, shallow water body is ideal for recreational paddling and beginners looking for a protected paddling environment.
