I love this place, Ive never gone here without catching atleast 2-3 bass. The only downside is a lot of the surrounding area is private property.

Maquan Pond is a Great Pond and is accessible from Route 14 but parking is nonexistent. Anglers have to find some nearby legal street parking and walk in. Public access may also be available at certain times through Camp Kiwanee on the southern and eastern shores. The camp is owned by the town of Hanson and provides a boat ramp and parking. No motorized boats are allowed.

Maquan Pond Description
Maquan Pond is a 45 acre natural pond located in Hanson just south of Route 14 and east of Route 58. The pond has an average depth of 12 feet and a maximum depth of 18 feet. The pond has a connection at the southern end to Indianhead Pond and at the northern end to cranberry bogs. Camp Kiwanee is on the southeastern shore. The pond has 1.4 miles of shoreline which are heavily developed with residences. The pond is generally clear with a sand and gravel bottom with silt in deeper areas and coves. Maquan Pond is a Great Pond and is accessible from Route 14 but parking is nonexistent. Anglers have to find some nearby legal street parking and walk in. Public access may also be available at certain times through Camp Kiwanee on the southern and eastern shores. The camp is owned by the town of Hanson and provides a boat ramp and parking. No motorized boats are allowed. Fish Populations: Maquan Pond was most recently sampled by electrofishing in July 2006 and contained largemouth bass, American eel, yellow perch, bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, brown bullhead and banded killifish.
Due its fertile warmwater habitats, Maquan Pond should provide good fishing for largemouth bass and panfish. Maquan Pond is located near a complex of ponds. Other nearby ponds to try are; Wampatuck Pond ,Indian Head Pond in Hanson, Oldham Pond in Hanson/Pembroke, and Furnace Pond in Pembroke.
Maquan Pond is a 48-acre (190,000 m2) pond in Hanson, Massachusetts. Its average depth is 12 feet (3.7 m) and its maximum depth is 18 feet (5.5 m). The pond is a tributary to Furnace Pond, a public water supply. There has been much development along the shore. The town right-of-way is on the northern shore of the pond off Maquan Street (Route 14). The water is acidic, so fishing is poor except for pickerel, small yellow perch and pumpkinseeds.
