About this Location

Fresh Pond is a 62-acre pond in the Manomet section of Plymouth. The southern shore of the pond is located in the Churchill Landing neighborhood, south of Manomet's business district and Manomet Bluffs. MA-3A runs along the southeastern shore of the pond to its most southeastern point where it shoots away at a sharp curve known as the Brown Bear Curve, named after a defunct motel along the shore at that curve.

A public beach, boat ramp, and a Native American burial site are located on the western shore of the pond on Bartlett Road, which has two intersections with MA-3A. The closest intersection is south of the Brown Bear Curve, while the other intersection is one mile north, north of Manomet's business district.

The pond is hydrologically associated with a cranberry bog operation located to the west of the pond. An unnamed brook (locally called "Hell's River" by some) heads west through the cranberry bog and ultimately leads to Beaver Dam Brook is the outflow of the pond. 

The Town of Plymouth maintains a beach at Fresh Pond Park for residents on the south end of the pond.

There is a parking fee at Fresh Pond Park. Restrooms are available only when the bathhouse is open.
