About Watson Pond State Park

Ten acres on the east side of Watson Pond make up this recreation area, most of it built around a 300-foot swimming beach. A bathhouse and pavilion sit near the picnic area, and the pond itself is open to fishing and non-motorized boating. The land lies within the northern part of Taunton, on the water's eastern shore.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
