Fearing Pond, also erroneously named on some maps as Fearings Pond (pronounced to rhyme with bearing), is a 24-acre natural kettlehole pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The average depth is ten feet and the maximum depth is 20 feet. It is located in the southern section of Myles Standish State Forest, north of Charge Pond, northwest of Abner Pond, west of Fawn Pond, south of College Pond, southeast of East Head Reservoir, and east of the forest headquarters, though without direct access as the bridge over the Wankinco River connecting Cranberry Road in Carver and Fearing Pond Road in Plymouth was washed out several years ago. The bridge has not been rebuilt. Camp Cachalot and Camp Squanto are nearby. The pond is fed by groundwater. A beach is located on the northern shore of the pond where boating access is as well. Summer cottages and campsites line the perimeter of the pond.
