Review:
The Fresh Pond Reservation is a park and reservoir in Cambridge. It is a 155-acre shallow kettle hole lake and is surrounded by 162 acres of land. There is a 2.25-mile road around the perimeter of the lake, and it is popular with cyclists, runners, and walkers. There is also a nine-hole golf course in the park.
At one time when the lake was privately owned, the ice harvested from the lake was sold and shipped to cities in North America as well as to tropical areas around the globe. Later, when the city took ownership, the lake was used as a source for public drinking water.
