Baker Pond is a 26 acre, natural kettlehole pond with a maximum depth of 60 feet and an average depth of 18 feet. Transparency is good, extending to 11 feet or more, but aquatic vegetation is scarce. The shoreline is moderately developed with houses, but for the most part the 1.1 miles of shoreline are forested in scrub pine and oak. Baker Pond is located in the eastern portion of Orleans just west of Route 6. To get to the pond from the Sagamore Bridge, take Route 6 east to Exit 12 (Route 6A).
