Highland Lake Boat Ramp in Stoddard offers convenient public access to Highland Lake via a concrete launch facility on the south end of the lake. The ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. To reach the launch, take Mast Road and follow the blue boat launch sign off Lowell Farm Road, which branches left and leads to the parking area.
The lake provides a good destination for paddlers and anglers, with nearby recreational opportunities in the region. If you're looking for alternative paddling spots in the area, consider Otter Brook Lake (motorboats prohibited, stocked trout fishing) or Surry Mountain Lake (10-hp engine limit, nature trails, and bass and trout fishing on the Ashuelot River). The Highland Lake access point serves as a practical launching spot for exploring this Cheshire County water body.
