Long Pond

Long Pond's public boat ramp in Yarmouth provides convenient access to this popular recreational water body in the Cape Cod area. The site features a concrete boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, with parking available for boat trailers. The ramp is managed by the Massachusetts Division of Conservation and Recreation and welcomes all safe boaters looking to explore the pond.

This access point is ideal for paddlers seeking a calm-water paddling experience. Long Pond is a relatively sheltered body of water, making it suitable for kayakers and canoeists of varying skill levels. The proximity to Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge—an important habitat area for migratory birds established in 1944—adds wildlife viewing opportunities for those interested in birdwatching during their paddling trips.

Before heading out, contact the managing agency or local town offices for current conditions, any access updates, and parking availability, especially during peak recreation seasons. The site is located off Route 18 in Yarmouth, making it easily accessible for day trips and recreational paddling.
