This relatively large, natural great pond is located less than a mile from Framingham center. The pond is divided into two parts by a large eastern dike. The larger section, called Big Farm Pond, is 124 acres while the area know as Little Farm Pond is just 23 acres and can only be accessed by canoe or kayak via portage. The fertile water is moderately transparent and supports abundant aquatic vegetation. The shoreline is only lightly developed and lives within the Dudley Road town park. The other half, located along the northern shoreline, is a railroad yard and supports a shopping center and state hospital. Averaging only 4 feet deep, the pond is not recommended for those looking for recreational activities. A town owned park is located on the eastern shoreline within Framingham and provides boat and fishing access to the pond.
