Grews Pond is a 13 acre natural kettlehole pond with an average depth of 18.5 feet and a maximum depth of 42 feet. Transparency is good, extending to 12 feet, and aquatic vegetation is scarce. The bottom is composed primarily of sand. The 0.61 miles of shoreline are within the town owned Goodwill Park, although there is a small water department offices and pumping station at the west end and a town beach on the south end. The pond is located just north of Falmouth Center and just east of Route 28 in Goodwill Park. Access is through Goodwill Park. The access is suitable only for wading anglers or for canoes and lightweight cartop boats. No outboard motors are allowed on the pond. Fish Populations: Grews Pond was last surveyed on August 11, 1993 and three species were found: smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish and yellow perch. Brown bullhead have also been reported. Fishing: Grews Pond is stocked annually in the spring with brook, brown and rainbow trout. Due to it's excellent summer trout habitat, ranging from 19 to 40 feet, the pond produces good holdover brown and rainbow trout. They will take any of the typical trout offerings, although the bigger, older fish are naturally difficult to fool. During the summer months the pond is heavily used by swimmers. The status of the smallmouth bass population is presently unknown, but we suspect there are at least a few good ones in here at any time, and there may be many of average size.
