Long Pond (Massachusetts)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long Pond is a lake/reservoir/pond within the towns of Lakeville and Freetown, in southeastern Massachusetts. It shares its waters with Assawompset Pond. These lakes provides a source of drinking water to the city of New Bedford, the largest city in southeastern Massachusetts. Long Pond is roughly two miles wide by four miles long, and contains three islands within its boundaries. The largest island, Lewis Island, contains sixteen privately owned cottages, while the second largest island, Nelson Island, was owned by a single family until recently. The smallest island, Goat Island, was recently purchased from the boy scouts by a private citizen. Along the perimeter of the lake are many homes and private access points for the lake. Long Pond is well known for fishing and boating.
