Pond in Plymouth

Does anyone know the name of a pond close to Beaver Dam Road in Plymouth MA? Its a short distance through the woods from the road. My dad said it has an old abandoned orphanage on an island in the middle of the lake. I looked on Google earth and I think it may be "Island Pond" but I'm not sure.

The pond is named great island pond. If you switch to a hybrid view on the map you can actually see the house on the island. I'm fishing around there tomorrow so i'm actually thinking about checking it out

I figured that was it. I was a little confused cause it looks like its surrounded by houses on google earth. My dads friend never mentioned neighborhoods and whatnot when he was telling me about it.

The road in can be an adventure. Better have 4wd, especially after all this rain. There are gong to be some deep puddles and lots of mud.

How is the fishing there? Can you get a canoe or kayak in there?

I find it fished well in the spring but gets tougher in the summer. I usually will put in a trip or 2 in April then cross it off my list. Too much effort getting to it from the main road for just an average day. Most fish are 1-2lbs

Ill try it just for the hell of it. I mostly just wanna explore the building on the island. Supposedly it's an old abandoned orphanage... Spooky

Rhut Roh...... Sounds like a mystery for Scooby, Shaggy and the gang!

If you don't have four wheel drive stay away.My biggest fish there was a 5 pounder in the spring.There are small mouth and large mouth there.Fish the cove off the beach to the left,nice pads with a good depth off of them.Across from that cove is some good timber in the water but lots of pics.Work the pads wood and the rocks around the island and you will catch fish.They may be small but you'll catch them.On occasion you will find a good one.

Here is a link to more info about the pond:

From what I read the island is private property.
