Long Pond is a roughly 121-acre lake straddling the Dracut/Tyngsborough MA and Pelham NH line. The town's conservation land gives the only public shore access, via two short connecting trails (about a third of a mile combined) from Hillside Street/Long Drive and Long Drive II, leading to a small beach and a kayak launch on the outflow stream.
