Walker Pond Description
Walker is an average size (104-acres) warm water pond located in Sturbridge just north of the Massachusetts Turnpike. The water is brown in color with a transparency of eight feet. The depth averages about seven and a half feet with a maximum of sixteen feet. The shoreline is 40% developed with summer and year round homes. Aquatic weeds are dense around most of the perimeter. Boat access is available on a gravel ramp off Walker Road at the north end of the pond. Shore access is available along the entire western shore in Wells State Park. Fish Species: The fish population was last studied during the 1980 summer survey. Ten species were collected: largemouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, white perch, bluegill, pumpkinseed, brown bullhead, white suckers, golden and bridled shiners. The most abundant game fish are chain pickerel and the most abundant panfish are yellow perch.
Walker Pond is a body of water in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, found off Route 49 on the way to Wells State Park.
