Crooker Memorial Park and Island Creek Pond

Located in Kingston, Crooker Memorial Park and Island Creek Pond is a 35 acre property featuring scenic pond views. This trail system is ideal for skating and kayaking. 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. Visitors particularly enjoy this destination during winter activities season. Also explore Bay Farm Trails and Carter Preserve, other trails in Kingston.
