Neal Pond

Neal Pond is a 188-acre lake located in Lunenburg, Essex County, Vermont, offering public access via a state boat ramp on the pond's south end. The pond reaches a maximum depth of 35 feet, making it suitable for various watercraft. This access point serves paddlers, anglers, and recreational boaters looking to explore the scenic waters in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom region.

**Note:** The site is currently undergoing improvements as of July 2025, which include dredging of the boat ramp area, addition of gravel to improve the driving surface, and clearing of overhanging branches along the ramp access road. Visitors should check for any temporary closures or access restrictions during the renovation period. The ramp has historically accommodated small to medium-sized boats, though paddlers in kayaks and canoes will find the access convenient for launching onto the pond's calm waters.
