Fearing Pond is a 24 acre natural kettlehole pond with an average depth of 10 feet and a maximum depth of 20 feet. Transparency is good at 13 feet, the bottom is mainly sand with some rubble, and aquatic vegetation is sparse. The 0.7 miles of shoreline are wooded with some development in the form of summer cottages, a swimming beach and campground areas.
Fearing Pond was most recently surveyed in the summer of 1992 to determine the holdover status of stocked trout. Brook trout were found to be holding over in the deeper sections of the pond, most likely over springholes (the pond is fed by groundwater only). The pond also contains largemouth bass, yellow perch, white perch, sunfish and banded killifish.
Fearing Pond is managed as a catchable trout pond and is heavily stocked in the spring and fall with brook, brown and rainbow trout. It is the only pond in the Myles Standish State Forest that is stocked with trout.
