Congamond Lakes (South Ramp)

The South Ramp at Congamond Lakes in Southwick provides access to the South Basin via a single concrete launch located off Berkshire Avenue. This facility features newly reconstructed infrastructure including a concrete ramp and boarding floats, making it a practical entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. However, parking is limited, so arriving early during peak seasons is recommended. The South Basin offers distinct paddling conditions and is one of two public access points managed by the Town of Southwick on the Congamond Lakes system.

Paddlers should note that the South Ramp provides access to the South Pond, Middle Pond, and surrounding waterways. The facility was recently upgraded by Massachusetts' Department of Fish and Game, ensuring reliable launch conditions. Before heading out, check local regulations and water conditions, as the lakes are managed for both recreational boating and fishing. For those seeking expanded paddling opportunities or additional amenities, the nearby Middle Pond area also has public access facilities and parking available.
