Overview
Johnson's Pond, officially Flat River Reservoir, is the largest lake in Coventry at roughly 640 acres. Shoreline is mostly residential, with a RIDEM boat launch on Harkney Hill Road and informal swim pull-offs along Tiogue Avenue and near Zeke's Bridge. The lake has been in the news in recent years over private-dam water-level disputes — summer levels can be drawn down.
