The Coonamessett Pond Association

About Us

The Pond
At 164 acres, Coonamessett Pond is the largest pond in the area and one of the clean watersheds for Falmouth. It is a natural kettelhole pond with a maximum depth of 34 feet and an average depth of 19 feet and is located in the Hatchville section of Falmouth. Transparency is only fair during the summer, extending to about 6.5 feet. The pond stratifies during the summer at about 20 to 25 feet. The shoreline is 2.9 miles and is moderately developed with the Cape Cod Country Club golf course, cottages and year-round homes. Public access to Coonamessett Pond is provided by the town of Falmouth through the Souza Conservation Area on the southwestern end of the pond. It is located off Hatchville Road which runs between Sam Turner Road and Sandwich Road,  roads that run south from Route 151. The pond receives water from groundwater and small inlets from Round Pond and former bogs to the north and drains into the Coonamessett River

The Association offers assistance on matters of concern to the community in regard to the watershed area of Coonamessett Pond. In concert with The 300 Committee (http://www.300committee.org) and the Town of Falmouth, the Association assists with the stewardship of the conservation parcels in the area.  We seek to encourage careful thought in the present, so that these characteristics of the area will continue into the future.  

We encourage neighbors and concerned citizens to join us in our endeavors to protect and preserve this treasure! Become more involved in our local environment by enjoying nature and bird walks on the conservation lands, or fishing and observing the seasonal herring runs. These activities will help you learn about what is in your “backyard.” Join us, too, for our annual potluck dinner every August to learn more about CPA and enjoy the company of like-minded people!
