About This Access Site
Willard Pond is a 96-acre cold water pond located in Antrim, NH, within the dePierrefeu-Willard Pond Wildlife Sanctuary. This scenic access point provides public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and small watercraft. The pond is an excellent destination for paddlers seeking quiet water recreation in a natural setting.

**Important Access Information:** Gas-powered motorboats are prohibited on Willard Pond, making it ideal for non-motorized paddling. There is a small boat launch available, though formal ramp facilities are limited—you can drive to the water to unload your boat before parking in the gravel lot. The pond is primarily used for fly fishing, paddling, hiking, and bird watching. Access the launch from the western side of the road.

**Nearby Alternatives:** If you're in the area, Edward MacDowell Lake (near Peterborough) and Otter Brook Lake (also motorboat-free) are nearby recreation options worth exploring for paddling and fishing.
