Wequaquet Lake Description
The lake is also known as Chequaquet Lake,Great Pond or Nine Mile Pond.
Wequauquet Lake, also known as Chequaquet Lake, Great Pond or Nine Mile Pond, is a large 654-acre unstratified warmwater pond. The pond is an enlarged great pond with a dam at Phinneys Lane. The pond has multiple basins and an average depth of 14 feet and a maximum depth of 32 feet. Transparency is good, extending to 10 feet or more. The bottom is composed primarily of sand. Due to the open wind-swept nature of the pond, there is little cover and aquatic vegetation is scant. The 7.5 miles of shoreline is heavily (90%) developed with cottages and year-round homes. Access: The lake is located in the Centerville section of Barnstable in a pocket formed by Routes 28, 132 and 6, and is situated less than a mile south of Route 6. Boat access is provided by a town-owned, paved ramp located off Shootflying Hill Road. There is also a town right of way off Huckins Neck Road. Shoreline fishing is limited to the areas around the boat launch and town right-of-way. Anglers can expect heavy recreational use of this lake during the summer, with boating and swimming being the most popular activities. Trailer parking at the ramp area is prohibited from Memorial Day to Labor Day although boats can be launched and roadside parking can be found. Fish Populations: pumpkinseed, yellow perch, golden shiner, brown bullhead, American eel, alewife, white sucker, banded killifish, chain pickerel and largemouth bass. The bass population was surveyed in September 2005. The alewife population is sea-run, entering from Vineyard Sound by the Centerville River and Long Pond-Centerville and then reaching Wequaquet Lake via a man-made herring run.
