ACCESS: Cummins Pond WMA, remote with difficult access. FISHERY: Warm/Cold From Dorchester, take North Dorchester Road to Cummins Pond Road. Cummins Pond WMA -- This 665-acre range is anchored by a large waterway that attracts migrating waterfowl, including most duck species and geese. In the proper vehicle, one can reach the boat launch at Cummins Pond. The road does get rough along the way, but there is a sign to the public access. It comes shortly after you have passed the Laffer Woodlands buildings, two miles in. Don’t try this spot after a spate of wet weather! You could get stuck without four-wheel drive. A branch of the Mascoma River rises in this region. You cross the brooks on the way to the pond. There are nice wild brookies in the flowage (a secret spot!). The local anglers get in here early after the season opens. If you decide to try, be prepared for a long walk out should you get mired. Be sure to take a pal or two along on this jaunt.
