Description
Lake Pearl is a 245-acre great pond and impoundment of Eagle Brook located a quarter mile south of Route 140 in Wrentham. Lake Pearl has an average depth of 13.5 feet, a maximum depth of 39 feet and the waters are typically transparent to 8-10 feet. The bottom is composed of sand, cobble and muck and aquatic vegetation is common along the shorelines and shallower areas. The shoreline is moderately developed with year round and seasonal homes. Recreational usage of the water is high throughout the year and boat traffic is heavy during the spring and summer months.

Fishing
Lake Pearl contains abundant bass, pickerel and panfish populations. Anglers fishing through the ice catch trophy chain pickerel relatively frequently and also report good catches of perch and bass. While big bass are uncommon, on rare occasions this pond has given up trophies weighing in the 5-7 lb range. Most of these have been taken on late summer evenings and a few through the ice. Lake Pearl has produced largemouth bass and chain pickerel that meet minimum sizes for recognition by the Freshwater Sportfishing Awards Program.
