Colton Pond

Colton Pond is a 26-acre recreational lake in Rutland County offering public boat access via a dedicated ramp. Located near Killington, this pond provides a relatively small, manageable paddling environment suitable for kayakers and canoeists. The water supports a healthy fishery including rainbow trout, yellow perch, and largemouth bass, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers seeking a quieter, scenic outing.

The nearby Chittenden Brook Campground (about 5-10 miles away via Route 73) offers overnight accommodations for those planning a multi-day trip in the area. For current conditions, specific ramp details, or to confirm accessibility features, contact the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife or call the Chittenden Brook Campground at (802) 767-4261.
