Walkers Pond has an average depth of 6 feet, a maximum depth of 11 feet, and water transparency is typically only 4 to 5 feet. The bottom is composed mostly of sand with some areas of rubble and aquatic vegetation is common to abundant. Much of the eastern shore is town conservation land and completely forested. Walkers Pond is connected to Upper Mill Pond by a very shallow channel that will require even the smallest of craft to be carried across.

Parking is available for approximately five cars at the ramp and shore fishing is possible on town owned land around the launch.
