Clear open water, but...

While the open water on Fresh Pond is beautiful and inviting and free of cynaobacteria, please stay away from the macro-algae (thick mats) in areas to either side to the public access at Fresh Pond.

There is an open direct channel into the clear water. Avoid contact with the mats which can cause skin irritation. Do not let pets or children swim into these areas as ingestion can be harmful.

We look forward to our July 2026 harvest/cleanup which will target removing these mats.
