Crooker Memorial Park and Island Creek Pond

Duxbury's Crocker Memorial Park is a small wooded property offering canoe and kayak access to Island Creek Pond, with seasonal ice skating in the winter. The 35-acre pond is one of Massachusetts' official Great Ponds and serves as the headwaters to Island Creek, which flows south for two miles through Mill Pond, under Route 3A, and out to Kingston Bay at Hicks Point -- historically an important herring fishery for both the Native Americans who lived in the area and the colonists who came after.
