Description
Robbins Pond is a 134-acre great pond located off of Pond Street in the southeast corner of East Bridgewater. Robbins Pond has a relatively uniform average depth of 6 feet except for a small 10 feet hole east of the center island. The pond bottom is predominantly sand, the waters are tea stained and transparent to only a few feet, and emergent aquatic vegetation covers approximately a third of the pond’s surface. The shoreline is moderately developed with year-round homes, a campground, and restaurant. A small, wooded island (Osceola Island) is located in the north end of the pond.
