The Baddacook Pond boat ramp provides public access via a concrete launch located off Whitley Road/Lost Lake Drive at the northeastern end of the 84-acre pond. This is a good option for paddlers and small boaters looking for a straightforward access point in the Merrimack River Watershed. The ramp accommodates car-top boats, canoes, kayaks, and small trailer boats, with parking available for approximately ten vehicles.
This is a solid choice for a local paddling destination, especially if you're exploring the quieter ponds in the Groton area. The pond's modest size makes it manageable for recreational paddling. Nearby, you'll find the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge and access to broader outdoor recreation opportunities, including the historic Lowell area. Arrive early on weekends, as parking is limited.
