Pontoosuc Lake | Pittsfield, Massachusetts

Pontoosuc Lake is a 480-acre great pond that is located in Pittsfield and Lanesborough. Aquatic vegetation is abundant, extending to depths of 10 feet or more from most of the shoreline and it is particularly thick in the northern coves. The shoreline is heavily developed and the lake supports heavy recreational use throughout the year. Beautiful views of the Taconic Range to the west provide a backdrop to these waters. Public access is provided by a paved boat ramp located at the southernmost tip of the lake off of Hancock Road. Fishing on Pontoosuc Lake is great but shoreline is virtually non-existent because of the tightly packed homes all around the lake.
