Wallace Pond

Wallace Pond is a 112-acre lake located in Canaan, Essex County, Vermont, offering scenic water access in the Appalachian Mountains. The public boat launch is situated off VT-114 and provides access to the pond and connecting Leach Creek. With a maximum depth of 62 feet, the pond supports both paddling and fishing activities, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small to medium-sized boats.

Note that the launch has no defined ramp structure, so paddlers should be prepared for potentially rustic or limited facilities. The access point offers only limited views of the pond from shore, so watercraft are necessary to fully explore the area. This is a good destination for those seeking a quieter, less-developed water access in northeastern Vermont.
