Ponkapag Pond is a 203-acre impoundment in the Blue Hills Reservation. The pond is located on the border of Canton and Randolph, Massachusetts about a half mile south of Route 128 and a half mile east of Route 138. It has a maximum depth of seven feet and an average depth of four feet. As would be expected on a pond this shallow, aquatic vegetation is pervasive and very abundant. Only a small portion of the eastern shoreline is developed; the southeastern and western shores are bordered by large expanses of marshland. A walking trail circles the pond, with parking at three locations.^[1]

The name comes from a Native American^{[clarification needed]} word meaning a spring that bubbles up from red soil, sweet water, or shallow pond.^[2]

Camping

The Appalachian Mountain Club operates the AMC Ponkapoag Camp on the eastern shore of the pond. The camp has 20 cabins and two tent sites, available for rental year-round.

Fishing

There is street-side parking and a place to launch cartop boats and canoes at Fisherman's Beach on the pond's southern side.^[3]

Although there are some limited areas where shore fishing is possible, the heavy weeds make it difficult to cover much productive water without a boat. There are abundant bass, panfish and pickerel, though trophy fish are decidedly rare.^[3]
