The Burr Pond boat ramp provides convenient access to the 85-acre Burr Pond in Torrington, Connecticut. This paved ramp and parking area offer an easy put-in for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.
Burr Pond is a popular destination for both motor boating and human-powered watercraft. The lake's calm, protected waters make it well-suited for paddling, with scenic shorelines and opportunities to spot wildlife. Anglers also frequent the pond, which is stocked with trout. While motorboat traffic may be present, the size of the water body allows for peaceful paddling experiences.
To reach the boat ramp, follow Burr Mountain Road past the Burr Pond State Park entrance and look for the launch on the left. Paved parking is available adjacent to the single-lane ramp. The park offers full facilities, including picnic tables and a beach area. Canoe and kayak rentals may be available seasonally. Visitors should be aware that park entrance fees apply, with varying rates for Connecticut residents and non-residents.
