Little Pond Description
Little Pond is an infertile, 43 acre natural kettle hole pond characterized by a sandy bottom, scant aquatic vegetation, and clear water. Average depth is 19 feet and the maximum depth is 51 feet; transparency is good, extending to 12 feet. The shoreline (1.2 miles) is lightly developed with year round homes on the northwest corner and undeveloped parkland and beaches on the remainder of the shoreline. The pond is heavily used by swimmers during the summer months. Access: Little Pond is located just west of Route 3 and south of Route 44. It can be reached from Route 3 by taking Old Route 44 west to the second set of lights and heading north on Pilgrim Hill Road. At the lights take a left onto Summer Street and then the first right onto Morton Park Road. The pond is located in the town of Plymouth’s Morton Park. Little Pond is an excellent pond for shorefishing due to numerous access points. The gradually sloping shoreline in most areas makes for easy wading. Boats can be launched on the south side of the pond Due to its popularity as a swimming area, the town charges a daily use fee during the summer months. Internal combustion engines are prohibited on Little Pond from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Fish Populations: largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, brook trout, yellow perch, smallmouth bass and golden shiner.
Little Pond is primarily a trout fishery and receives heavy stockings of brook, brown and rainbow trout in the spring and fall. It also receives annual stockings of broodstock Atlantic salmon and tiger trout (when available). In the summer, the cold layer of water holding salmonids is located in a zone from 19 to 30 feet. The warmwater fishery here is secondary. The infertility of the water appears to limit bass and panfish growth although a few large bass have been reported from the pond.
