About 

• All lakes and ponds that appear on the map and list allow public access. Waterbody boundaries and depths are approximate and vary seasonally.
• MassWildlife adds new bathemetric (depth) maps each season. These new maps provide 100 times more precision than the original maps. You can use Bathymetric maps to target different depths and habitats within a pond. For example, bass prefer steep drop-offs and plateaus, while trout spend time in deeper, colder water. Anglers who ice fish or fish from shore will find these maps useful when personal depth finders cannot be used.
• If you can't find the pond you're looking for, contact the town recreation department or local conservation commission. In some cases, MassWildlife District offices may have information on ponds that aren't listed.
