A protected area covers this ground, which usually means restrictions on access. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Versailles Pond, 0.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Kendall Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
