About This Dive Spot
Stockbridge Bowl is a freshwater lake accessible from the shore, specifically at the Boat Launch located at 55 Interlaken Road in Stockbridge, MA, or from the Stockbridge Town Beach, which requires a town resident sticker for parking during the summer months. The lake experiences significant boat traffic in the summer, so divers are advised to plan their dives for early morning or late afternoon and to avoid weekends when possible. Commonly observed species include Bluegill and Redbreast Sunfish, while Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, and Rock Bass are often seen. Less frequently, divers may encounter Carp, Black Crappie, and crayfish.
