The Smithfield boat launch provides state-owned access to North Pond via Bog Stream in southern Somerset County. Located on the east shore in the town of Smithfield, this is the primary access point for recreational boating on this large headwater pond that's part of the Belgrade Lakes system. The launch accommodates both trailered boats and hand-carried watercraft, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users.
North Pond offers excellent conditions for warm water boating and fishing activities. Given its size and role as a headwater pond, the water is generally calm and suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. Whether you're launching a canoe, kayak, or trailered boat, this state facility provides convenient access to explore the pond's expansive waters and the scenic Belgrade Lakes watershed.
