Massapoag Pond is the most heavily used recreational water body in Dunstable, but the town has no public access to this pond. There are now no limitations on motor horsepower or speed for boats on Massapoag Pond, other than the state's overall water speed limit of 45 mph. Its embankment is characterized by steep, high slopes of kame terrace deposits and eskers. Lower Massapoag Pond is smaller and more elongated in character, with a shoreline of primarily shrub marsh wetland. Smaller ponds along the three main tributaries were formed by damming during the last two centuries for various economic purposes.
