Overview
Great Herring Pond is a large freshwater pond on the Plymouth / Bourne line in Plymouth County. The reliable public access is a MassWildlife / town boat ramp off Herring Pond Road — there is no designated public swim beach, and most shoreline is private frontage. Unofficial swims happen from the boat-ramp shore; expect motorized boat traffic, no lifeguards, and no-trespassing signage on most adjacent lots.
