French Pond in Henniker offers a convenient public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The ramp provides access to a scenic pond setting in the Merrimack County area. A sandy beach is located adjacent to the launch area, making this a good option for recreational paddling and water-based activities. The facility operates 24 hours with free access and includes a small parking area accommodating approximately five cars with trailers.
This is a modest, low-impact access point best suited for calm-water paddling and exploration. Paddlers should note that the facility has no restroom facilities on-site. For boaters with trailers, launching is recommended at three-quarter tide or better. The location provides a quiet alternative to busier recreation areas and serves as a good base for exploring the pond's natural surroundings.
