Miacomet Pond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miacomet Pond, is a narrow, slender pond on the south shore of Nantucket Island. The pond was once a river, but the oceans rose to make Nantucket an island in the last ice age. On average, the pond is approximately 100 yards wide, thus giving the appearance of a river. The northern head of the pond, is only ten feet wide, and was once connected to Nantucket Harbor, via Newtown Creek. The maximum depth of the pond is twenty eight feet. The southern end of the pond, is a sandy beach. Occasionally, the pond is opened up to the sea.
