Quabbin Reservoir boat ramp #3

Boat Launch Area #3 (Stephen M. Brewer Fishing Area) at Gate 43 in Hardwick offers access to both Quabbin Reservoir and the regulating pond above the Horseshoe Dam, with rental boats and facilities available during the fishing season (April-October).

The launch area provides restroom facilities marked by white buoys, accepts credit card payments only, and charges $6-$8 for parking depending on vehicle/trailer configuration.

Jon boats are permitted in the regulating pond with capacity limits based on boat size, while private boats on the main reservoir must have an intact Quabbin Boat Seal and comply with motor size restrictions.
