East Head Pond, or Reservoir, is a picturesque 92-acre pond located on the south end of the Myles Standish State Forest. The pond is situated in a unique forest community known as the "pine barrens," which is found in only a few places in the world. The area was formed over 10,000 years ago by glaciers and is the headwaters to the Wankinco River. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and boating while exploring the beautiful natural surroundings.
