Hall Pond Hand Boat Ramp in Paris offers a carry-in launch facility for canoes and kayaks via a floating dock, with a hard-top boat launch that is gated to prevent motorized vessels.

The 51-acre pond is managed as a coldwater fishery and serves as a public water supply, so internal combustion engines and bodily contact with the water are prohibited; access is directly from quiet Halls Pond Road with roadside parking available.
