Beach Pond Lake is a man-made reservoir that was completed in 1885 and spans a surface area of 459 acres near the Rhode Island state line and the cities of Exeter and Voluntown. The lake is part of a popular regional canoe trail that spans the nearby Pachaug and Quinebaug Rivers. Boat ramps at the lake’s northern Connecticut end offer access for fishing, boating, water skiing, canoeing, and kayaking. Largemouth, smallmouth, and calico bass are found in the lake’s higher levels, while rainbow and brown trout and walleye are prevalent within deeper level areas. Walk-in and backpack camping is available near the lake’s shoreline, and more than 24,000 acres of nearby forest are available for visitor hiking and exploration.
