Brooks Pond (Massachusetts) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Brooks Pond (Massachusetts)
Brooks Pond is a Massachusetts water body bordered by the towns of North Brookfield, Oakham, Spencer, and New Braintree. It forms the headwaters of the Five Mile River, which is part of the Chicopee River Watershed. ==Information== Brooks Pond is a mostly shallow ''lesser'' pond as determined under Massachusetts Commonwealth law and regulations. It has been demonstrated via two separate recent studies, including one conducted by an expert firm, to originally have been well under in size in its naturally-occurring state, thus disqualifying it as a Massachusetts ''great pond''. At present, it has been enhanced in size by an earthen dam and cast spillway, and some parts range to 26 feet (8 m) in depth. The water is generally clean but exhibits slight coloration from leaf tannin and gets quite warm in the summertime. Brooks Pond is near a watershed boundary where waters to its north and west are part of the Ware River watershed and waters to its south and east are part of the Quaboag River watershed. Situated in a heavily forested area, the character of the pond in decades past—of mainly just summerhomes—has yielded to increasing numbers of permanent, full-time residences along its lengthy shoreline.
