Uncas Pond is located in the town of Lyme and is a natural lake within the Connecticut River Drainage Basin. The watershed is 977 acres of mostly undeveloped woodland. The pond is fed by several small brooks, one of which flows from Norwich Pond, and a marsh. It drains west into Falls Brook, which flows into Hamburg Cove. The northern and northeastern shorelines are wooded, undeveloped state forest. There are a moderate number of residences along the southern shore. The bottom of the lake consists of sand, mud, gravel and boulders.

The transparency of the lake is clear with visibility of 13 ft. in the late summer. The fishing should be good to excellent for bass and good for trout ( with a chance for a holdover), perch and sunfish. A good spot to catch big bass.
