Pierce Island boat ramp is located on the southern shore of Spofford Lake in Chesterfield and provides convenient access to this popular fishing and recreational destination. The ramp accommodates kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats interested in exploring the lake. Notable features include proximity to Pierce Island State Park, a 5-acre island located approximately 1/4 mile from the ramp, which offers a scenic destination for paddlers and boaters.
Spofford Lake is known for its diverse fishery, including smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and northern pike—making it an attractive spot for anglers. The lake supports both motorized and paddle craft activity. Arrive early when possible, as parking can be limited during peak recreational periods. The area is conveniently located near other regional attractions, including Surry Mountain Lake Campground (within 10 miles) for those planning overnight trips, and Otter Brook Lake and Surry Mountain Lake, which offer alternative paddling opportunities with their own access points and fishing opportunities nearby.
