This town of Lynn owns and controls this natural great pond and its 1.8 miles of shoreline. The water has a high fertility that provides a good environment for the wide variety of fish species. The shoreline is about 80% developed, with the remaining 20% owned by the city in the form of three parks: 1. Maple Street Park on the northern shore, 2. Chestnut Street Park on the southern shore, and 3. Magnolia Street Park on the western shore. There is a heavy population of an aquatic species called flax, which gives the pond it’s name. At times, it can take over sections of the pond.
