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 over 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.
