Recreational access
The town of Concord manages a gravel ramp suitable for cartop boats off of Plainfield Road next to the town beach on the far eastern shore (get directions). The ramp is gated necessitating a short carry in; no gas motors are permitted. Shoreline access here is restricted to areas adjacent to the launch. Additional shore access is provided via trails in White Pond Park from a small parking area on Hemlock Street (get directions). Please contact the offices of the town of Concord for additional information, fee structure, and/or restrictions pertaining to public access of White Pond.
