Santuit Pond is a shallow, fertile 172-acre warmwater pond located in Mashpee, Massachusetts, with a maximum depth of 9 feet and an average depth of 5 feet. The pond is groundwater fed and forms the headwaters of the Santuit River (also known as the Cotuit River). Characterized by a bottom that is predominantly sand overlain with muck, with some areas of gravel and rubble, the pond offers excellent water transparency that generally extends to the bottom even in the deepest areas. The 3.4 miles of shoreline are moderately developed with homes and cranberry bogs, generally steep and wooded. Abundant aquatic vegetation, though much of it submerged, provides excellent habitat for fish species. At 41 feet elevation, this Cape Cod pond is known as one of the most fertile ponds in the region, offering exceptional fishing opportunities throughout the year.
