Covering an area of 204 acres (82.5 ha), Cliff Pond is the biggest pond in Nickerson State Park. It's a popular place to swim, boat and fish during the summer. In 1992, the largest ever recorded American eel was caught here, weighing 8 pounds.

Named after the surrounding cliffs, the pond is full of life, with trout, perch, bass and killifish. Fish stocks are replenished in spring and summer.
