Craddock Crewes Pond

...wes Pond is a Nice place to visit?? Who wrote that??? They make it sound as if it is a vaction destination. It has essentially nothing going for it. It covers approx 1 acre. An Interstate highway now runs about 25 yards away from it with tractor trailers barrelling down it. On the other side is Industrial / Commercial buildings. It is sometimes more of a marsh than a pond which is exacerbated by the fact that it is at the absolute top of the Chas River Watershed. Due in part to that, and the small size of the pond / marsh, I cant imagine there are any fish in it. And there certainly is no beach, or vista. The old parking lot has been blocked off so there is no parking. The only real intersting thing about it is that when the water level is high, it may be feeding 2 different watersheds. But that is an intellectual curiosity, not a real reason to visit this pond. Well htere may be another use for this pond which is a place to skate in the winter. But I am not sure about this cuz there may be grasses sticking up above the water line depending on how much rain happen shortly be...

Locust Pond is a lake that was formed in 1954 by the creation of the Locust Pond Dam on Locust Brook, which flows from the Locust Pond to the larger Merrimack River. Locust Pond is considered a lake because Mass Regs (310 CMR 10.04) state that a lake is ?any open body of fresh water with a surface area of ten acres or more, and shall include great ponds. The site is bordered by Locust Avenue and light residential development to the northwest, and Route 3 to the southwest. The other half of the perimeter is bordered by dense development. The pond is mostly open water with no emergent marsh development. The upland is all forested. The habitat quality of this site is limited by the development surrounding it, however, it should provide at least transient habitat for aquatic mammals such as beaver, otter, and mink, and many of the upland mammals and migratory songbirds of forested habitats....
