Boating at Lake Massapoag
Boat Ramp Permits allow use of the Town Boat Ramp to launch your boat and park in the boat ramp lot. Boat Ramp Permits are to be issued in pairs, one sticker to be placed on the boat and one sticker to be placed on the vehicle, rear passenger window. All boat owners launching boats into Lake Massapoag are required to read and understand the DCR Massachusetts Lakes and Ponds Program Flyer concerning invasive species. Boat owners are required to properly inspect their vessel upon entrance and exit from Lake Massapoag. Gate attendants will be on hand during beach operating hours to also ensure there are no weeds or invasive species on your boat. Failure to adhere to requirements may result in the suspension or revocation of your ability to use your boat in Lake Massapoag.

Non-motorized, non-trailered boats that are transported to the beach by car do not require a Boat Ramp Permit. If vehicles have a season pass sticker, they may park in their car in the lot and launch their non-motorized watercraft outside our swim area. If not, they may unload/load their watercraft in the boat launch area and move their vehicle to Sharon High School parking lot.
