Incorporated in 1936, the Franklin Rod and Gun Club Inc. is a non-profit, private sporting club located on Uncas pond in Franklin, Massachusetts. With 150 current members, the club is one of the oldest active organizations in Franklin. One of the unique aspects of the club is our boat landing and fishing beach. Although Uncas pond is land locked by private property, the club believes in sharing the pond and its resources and therefore maintains free public access via our boat landing which is maintained solely with club funds. The goals of the Franklin Rod and Gun Club are the conservation and enjoyment of our natural resources and to promote and support responsible fishing, hunting and boating activities in accordance with fish, wildlife, conservation and environmental regulations. Our Clubhouse has a meeting capacity of 135 people and a fully equipped kitchen with victual license, pool table, 50 ft ventilated indoor pistol range with 3 shooting stations and 24 hour access. The Club also has a private beach on the 25 acre stocked pond, a 50 ft. dock, public boat landing and fishing beach, club boats and horseshoe pits. (Click on Club Calendar for event dates)
