Sherwood Mill Pond Kayak Launch
About
Sherwood Mill Pond Kayak Launch is a boat launch in Connecticut, about half a mile from Compo. It gives paddlers a put-in for small craft on Sherwood Mill Pond. For the warm months, typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 68°F in May to about 83°F in July, with September still near 75°F and fewer wet days than spring. The station sits at nearly the same elevation as the launch, so those figures should hold close to what you'll find on the water. Hikers can head to Putnam Preserve Trail, about 4 miles away, or The Driftway, just beyond it. Climbers will find Big Roof roughly 6 miles out, and paddlers looking for moving water have the Norwalk River within 10 miles.
