Jenness Pond

Jenness Pond is a 267-acre lake in Pittsfield, Merrimack County, offering public boat access via a no-fee launch facility. The ramp is unpaved gravel and has limited capacity, so plan accordingly during peak use times. Vegetation may partially obstruct the ramp area, so arrive prepared for potentially challenging launch conditions.

This access point serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore a substantial pond environment in central New Hampshire. The pond drains into Jenness Brook and connects to the Suncook River/Merrimack River watershed system. Given the gravel surface and limited infrastructure, kayakers and canoeists should expect a more rustic launch experience compared to developed ramps—bring appropriate footwear and be prepared to potentially assist with boat handling on the unpaved surface.
