==Recreation Usage==
This 55-acre, relatively infertile natural great pond has a maximum depth of 28 feet and an average depth of 10 feet. <br>
It is located about two and a half miles east of Methuen center. <br>
Transparency is fair at seven feet, but aquatic vegetation is scarce except for scattered patches in the coves. <br>
Development of the shoreline is moderate to heavy, with the exception of the northeastern end, bordered by town forest. <br>
Public access is provided by a paved beach ramp located off a road through the town forest. <br>
Parking space is limited and the ramp is best suited to car top boats and canoes. <br>
