An 80-acre town-associated pond (listed by the town as Prindle Pond) ringed mostly by private lakefront homes, with a small public access area on the east shore for swimming, fishing, and hand-launched boats. The dam is town-owned. It is a quiet, no-gas-motor lake distinct from the private Prindle Lake Association that represents lakefront residents.
