Lake Tashmoo is a hidden gem in the densely-built town of Vineyard Haven. The tranquil saltwater lake is fed by freshwater springs at its head and opens to the sea. Tashmoo is synonymous with pine woods and quiet residential neighborhoods of every description, from old camps and modest homes to large summer homes with grassy yards that run down to the water. There are a handful of public town landing areas around the lake for launching small boats, canoes and kayaks.
