Squantz Pond

Before 1929, Squantz Pond was recorded to be in area. However, the 1921 discovery of a 22 foot-long canoe at the bottom of the lake led historians to speculate that it was once a larger body of water. The watershed of Squantz Pond is , much of which is undeveloped. Lake Mauweehoo is located in the watershed. Squantz Pond is fed by Glen Brook. In 1980, it was classified as being a mesotrophic lake. ==Ecology==

Squantz Pond is home to a diverse variety of fish. Common species include walleye, yellow perch, white perch, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, brown bullhead, yellow bullhead, banded killifish, spottail shiner, rock bass, redbreast sunfish, bluegill, and pumpkinseed. Rarer species found in Squantz Pond include smallmouth bass, black crappie, black bullhead, and golden shiner. The lake is stocked with brown trout and rainbow trout. Shallow water communities include plants such as waterwort (Elatine), spikerush (Eleocharis), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), snailseed pondweed (Potamogeton bicupulatus), bur-reed (Sparganium), and cattail (Typha). Although reports have not confirmed a correlation, it has been theorized that the carp have consumed all accessible plants. ==Recreation==

Squantz Pond State Park covers 172 acres of the southwestern shore of the lake. The park offers swimming, fishing, and scuba diving, and motorized boating. Cliff jumping into the lake is outlawed. Blue-green algae blooms are frequent, and it is common for water quality issues to close the lake to swimmers. ==References==
