Robbins Pond is an infertile, 124 acre natural warmwater pond. The depth of the pond is fairly uniform with an average depth of about 6 feet, the maximum depth is about 10 feet in a small hole to the east of the island. The bottom is predominantly sand. The water color is tea stained and transparency is only about three feet. The pond has an outlet from Stump Pond and cranberry bogs and drains into the Satucket River. Emergent aquatic vegetation covers approximately a third of the pond’s surface. The shoreline (1.7 miles) is moderately developed with year round homes, a campground, restaurant and roads. A small wooded island (Osceola Island) is located in the north end of the pond. The pond is located on the Wampanoag canoe passage between Cape Cod Bay and Mount Hope Bay. Access: Robbins Pond can be reached from Route 106 by heading east on Pond Street. The pond is about one mile from Route 106. Access is an informal gravel launch area just east of the pond’s outlet. It is suitable only for cartop boats and canoes. The Office of Fishing and Boating Access has recently acquired land across from the launch area and will developing a parking area. Roadside parking is available. Fish Populations: The fish population of Robbins Pond was last sampled in June of 1993. The 9 species observed, listed in order of abundance, were yellow perch, white perch, bluegill, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, black crappie, white sucker and American eel. Golden shiner and brown bullhead were also observed in a July 1980 survey.

Robbins Pond appears to have decent warmwater fish population with the largemouth bass being the main attraction. Some decent sized bass are present in the pond based on the last fish survey and angler reports. During the summer months, the pond is intensively used by swimmers and boaters including jet skiers and water skiers which may interfere with fishing at times. Yellow perch, white perch, and bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish should offer good fishing for the panfisherman. Ice fishing for bass and pickerel is a good bet when ice conditions are suitable.
