Keene Pond is a 13-acre (5.3 ha) pond in Duxbury, Massachusetts in the Ashdod section of the town. The pond is located east of Stump Pond. Keene Brook, a tributary of the South River, flows through the pond. Camp Wing, a summer camp for children age 7–16 run by Crossroads for Kids, Inc., is located on the eastern shore of the pond.
Famous quotes containing the word pond:
“This pond never breaks up so soon as the others in this neighborhood, on account both of its greater depth and its having no stream passing through it to melt or wear away the ice.... It indicates better than any water hereabouts the absolute progress of the season, being least affected by transient changes of temperature. A severe cold of a few days’ duration in March may very much retard the opening of the former ponds, while the temperature of Walden increases almost uninterruptedly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
