Merchants Millpond State Park

Boating, fishing, camping and hiking are the main attractions at this day use park. Small fishing craft (with trolling motors only) may be launched at the boat ramp. Largemouth bass, bluegill, chain pickerel and black crappie await the anglers. Rental canoes are available.

Picnic Area has 28 tables, one picnic shelter and restroom facilities.

Tick Alert!: Nine miles of trails are available but are heavily infested with ticks during warm weather months so be cautious while hiking. Insect repellent may help prevent a tick bite and the possibility of disease. Tuck trousers into long socks and tuck a long-sleeved shirt into pants. Check often for ticks. Wear light colors so that ticks may be easily spotted and removed.
