Upper Baker Pond Beach offers a public boat launch on the north end of 166-acre Upper Baker Pond in Orford, NH. The ramp features a concrete launch suitable for small to medium-sized watercraft, approximately 16 feet wide. This access point is convenient for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the pond and its connection to Pond Brook.
**Access & Directions:** From Route 10, take Route 25A east for about 10 miles, then turn left onto Upper Baker Pond Road (1 mile). Continue right on Prettyman Road (½ mile) and right again onto Upper Baker Pond Beach Road to reach the ramp at the end. Note that the ramp has limited access and gravel conditions, so plan accordingly. A beach area is maintained adjacent to the launch facility.
For those exploring the area, additional public boat launches are available on both Lower Baker Pond and Indian Pond, offering options for a multi-pond paddling experience in the scenic Appalachian foothills.
