Worden Pond is large but quite shallow and can get quite choppy when the afternoon southwest breeze kicks in, or simply if the day turns windy. Pay attention to the forecast and don't paddle to the expected downwind side of the pond if a breeze is forecast to develop unless you fancy a long hard paddle home against the wind and waves. The Wood-Pawcatuck River Guide is highly recommended for paddling on the Wood-Pawcatuck river system.
