Big Island Pond in Derry, NH offers limited public access for paddlers and boaters. The primary town canoe and kayak launch is located on **Stickney Road** and features a step-down access point best suited for canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. The pond has shallow water (only a few feet deep in the launch area), making it ideal for small, hand-launched watercraft rather than motorized boats.
An additional boat ramp operated by the Big Island Pond Corporation is available at the end of **Escumbuit Road** and serves as the Fisherman's Access point. Access to both facilities is **limited to residents and BIPC shareholders**. If you're planning a visit, verify current access restrictions and confirm you meet eligibility requirements with the Big Island Pond Corporation or town of Derry before heading out.
