Long Pond

Long Pond is a scenic water body in Lempster, Sullivan County, offering public access via a boat ramp located on Long Pond Road along the southern edge of the pond. The ramp provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this forested pond, which is integrated into the Merrimack River watershed and drains into the Powwow River. The site includes picnic facilities, making it suitable for a full day of paddling and recreation.

Paddlers should note that storm damage during the winter of 2022/2023 resulted in closures affecting the northern portion of Long Pond Road north of the boat launch access road. Before visiting, confirm current conditions and any access restrictions. The pond welcomes all safe boaters and is surrounded by forested land, offering a peaceful paddling experience for both beginners and experienced paddlers.
