Boston Kayaker

Kayaking on Alum Pond - in Fiskdale MA Rating: Half-Star - Problem with this pond is it is essentially a private pond for the shoreline residents as there are no public access. An anonymous resident was kind enough to let the Boston Kayaker be his guest for the day and I used the resident only beach. Shoreline are all developed and the view is flush waterfront expensive houses. Boats with tag-alongs busy on this ok-sized private pond,   Put in at Trail Road   in Fiskdale MA. Paddle around Alum Pond   and return. Estimated round trip   distance = 1.5 miles Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to determine the legality, suitability and safety of this route for yourself.
