About this Location

Wequauquet Lake, also known as Chequaquet Lake, Great Pond, or Nine Mile Pond, is a large, 670-acre, unstratified warm water pond. The pond is an enlarged great pond with a dam at Phinneys Lane. The pond has multiple basins an average depth of 14 feet and a maximum depth of 33 feet. The 7.5 miles of shoreline is heavily developed with summer cottages and year-round homes.

The town of Barnstable provides public access through a paved ramp on the northwestern shore on Shootflying Hill Road. There is also a town right of way off Huckins Neck Road that offers cartop access. Shoreline fishing is limited to the areas around the boat launch and town right-of-way. Anglers can expect heavy recreational use of this lake all year as it is popular for ice fishing, as well as boating and swimming during the summer. Trailer parking at the ramp area is prohibited from Memorial Day to Labor Day, although boats can be launched and roadside parking can be found.
