Dean Pond is a natural treasure in the center of Popponesset. It lies 250 feet from Nantucket Sound and Sandy Beach, and provides habitat for wildlife as well as fishing, kayaking and canoeing opportunities for residents. It is very shallow, approximately six feet at its deepest, averaging about 250-feet wide and has a shoreline of about one mile, most of which is lined with private residences.

The Pond Committee is planning to provide some educational programs on various topics such as fishing the pond and important environmental issues.
Fundraising - Friends of Dean Pond
Tax Deductible Giving Popponesset Beach Association provides support for pond maintenance such as water quality improvements, hydro-raking and removal of invasive species. In 2021, we began an in-depth scientific survey to clarify our long-term needs for maintaining the health of the pond. PBA allocates money towards the annual upkeep of the pond. To ensure we can preserve this valuable resource as a viable marine ecosystem we anticipate additional projects in the future. In 2021 the Pond Committee established Friends of Dean Pond as a 501c3 organization which allows donors to make tax-deductible contributions to supplement PBA funding of ongoing pond projects. |
