Lake Information

College Pond, located in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, is a picturesque natural kettlehole pond that offers a range of recreational opportunities and scenic beauty for visitors to enjoy. With its 53-acre size and unique geological formation, College Pond is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. One notable characteristic of College Pond is its distinctive kettlehole formation. Kettleholes are depressions in the land surface that were created by melting blocks of ice left behind by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago. As a result, College Pond has a bowl-like shape, with steep sides and a relatively deep central basin. The pond's maximum depth of 24 feet and average depth of 10 feet provide ample space for aquatic life and water-based activities. The bottom of College Pond is predominantly composed of rock and rubble, contributing to the pond's clear and pristine waters. However, the presence of vegetation is relatively sparse, allowing for unobstructed views of the pond's depths. The transparency of the water can vary greatly, ranging from as little as 4 feet to as much as 23 feet, depending on environmental conditions. With 1.1 miles of shoreline, College Pond offers plenty of space for visitors to explore and enjoy its natural beauty. Approximately 50% of the shoreline is developed with summer cottages, adding a charming residential element to the landscape. Additionally, a state forest beach provides access to the pond and serves as a recreational hub for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking during the summer months. The diverse ecosystem of College Pond supports a variety of wildlife and plant species. Aquatic vegetation, although limited, provides habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms. Anglers frequent the pond in search of bass, trout, and other fish species that inhabit its waters. Birdwatchers can observe a range of avian species, including waterfowl and migratory birds, while exploring the pond's shoreline and surrounding wooded areas. Overall, College Pond offers a tranquil and scenic environment for outdoor recreation and nature appreciation. Whether you're seeking a peaceful spot for fishing, a refreshing swim, or simply a quiet retreat amidst natural surroundings, College Pond in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, provides a delightful setting to unwind and connect with the beauty of the outdoors.
