A town-owned kettle pond access on Perry's Lane with an ADA-accessible paved kayak and canoe launch, a favorite for stocked-trout fishing and a short flat walk along an old stage road. It is separate from Mary's Pond's other shorefront on Mary's Pond Road, where a 2011 title search found the old town beach to be privately owned; that stretch is closed to the public.
