Common questions
There's no real beach on the Mashpee side, and the pond has had cyanobacteria closures in recent summers, so it isn't a reliable swim spot.
Is there an entry fee at Ashumet Pond - Linda Bound Sanctuary?
No, entry is free.
What rules should I know at Ashumet Pond - Linda Bound Sanctuary?
Check current cyanobacteria advisories before wading or letting dogs swim, since blooms have closed the pond to contact recreation in past summers.
