While the lake has a private beach for members, the boat launch on the northern shore is open to the public and maintained by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). The launch is easily accessible from major highways, making it a convenient access point for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the peaceful waters of West Hill Pond.
