Ashuelot Pond is a 368 acre (149 ha)[1] water body located in Sullivan County in western New Hampshire, United States, in the town of Washington. It is situated along the upper reaches of the Ashuelot River, a tributary of the Connecticut River.
The pond is good for boating, fishing, and wildlife watching. Jet skis are prohibited by the state of New Hampshire. The pond mostly has a muddy bottom, but there is a sandy beach on the side across from the boat launch, at a big triangle-shaped rock.
Pond associations include the Ashuelot Pond Association and The LAE Association.
