Jenkins Pond Description
Jenkins Pond is a 87 acre natural kettlehole pond with an average depth of 27 feet and a maximum depth of 51 feet. Transparency is very good, extending to 18 feet, and aquatic vegetation is scarce. The bottom is composed of sand, gravel and rubble. The 2.1 miles of shoreline are heavily developed with residences except for a sandy beach at the northeastern end of the pond. The pond is located to the northeast of Mares Pond and north of Sandwich Road. It can be reached by taking Route 151 or Route 28 to Sandwich Road, and Sandwich Road to Deepwood Drive. Public access is provided by a town right-of-way at the western edge of the pond off of Deepwood Drive. The launching site is suitable for canoes and cartop boats. No outboard motors are allowed. Only electric motors are permitted. Fish Populations: smallmouth bass, yellow perch, white perch, golden shiners, white suckers, chain pickerel, and brown bullheads. Channel catfish (or possibly white catfish) have also reportedly been stocked here by unknown persons.
Shoal areas of rubble on the north side of the pond offered excellent spawning habitat for smallmouth bass and management of the pond for smallmouth bass and white perch was recommended.
