About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** The Freetown Boat Ramp is located on the south end of Long Pond near Aldenville in Wayne County, PA, accessible off Route 18. Free parking is available directly adjacent to the concrete launch pad, making this a convenient no-fee alternative to nearby paid facilities.

**Facilities & Regulations:** The site features a concrete boat launch ramp with parking areas. Sand and rocks border the launch area, providing reasonable conditions for launching kayaks and canoes. All unpowered boats must be registered or display a current launch permit. Innertubes and swim aids are not permitted on the water. The ramp welcomes all safe boaters and serves as the primary public access point to Long Pond's waters.

**Nearby Options:** If you're exploring the area, Aylesworth Creek Lake (about 10 miles away in Lackawanna County) offers additional paddling opportunities with a beach and hiking trails, while Prompton Lake—a larger 290-acre reservoir—is also in the region with a boat launch facility.
