Lake Massapoag is considered one of the cleanest lakes in the State. This natural Great Pond has no inlet and is 100% spring fed, enough to constantly flush the lake. About 1/2 of lakeshore property is public land. Sharon Community Center (SCC) has concerts, beach, picnic area & trails. Memorial Park Beach is open to public. "Lake Management Study Committee" is very active and knowledgeable about lake community. Lakefront property is very pricey; there are many million dollar homes on this lake. The lake water is very clean (transparent to 14 feet) and the bottom is comprised of sand and gravel. The main outlet is located near the boat launch site and is gated to control the lake level. The town of Sharon owns all water and water rights. It is rumored that there are two 400 foot holes in the northwest corner of the lake. These may have been used as copper mines in the 18th century. The lake is wide open and great for all recreational activities. There is an active sailing club called the “Massapoag Yacht Club” (http://www.sailmyc.org/). The “Lake Management Study Committee” oversees lake management issues.
