2. Did you know that residents in Sharon who would like to launch a boat on Lake Massapoag can do so from the town boat ramp at the corner of Beach and Pond Streets? It's true, according to the Sharon Recreation Department. All boats launched need to be 60 horsepower or less, and residents can obtain a boat launch parking pass from the Recreation Department. The boat launch passes are valid for the calendar year. Please visit sharonbeach.cityhallsystems.com to purchase passes. If you have any questions, contact the Assistant Recreation Director Christine Kasparian, at ckasparian@townofsharon.org.
