Description
History
Sherman Pond is so called from Captain and Squire and Dr. and Dea. John Sherman. He was one of the original prorietors and built his house on the southwest side of the pond that bears his name. It is the site on which Elijah T. Sherman, of the fifth generation in line decent rebuilt the house around 1876.

North East
East Brook enters through wetlands and farmland which has caused weed problems because of farm run off.
Weed Warning
The 55-member lake association say that the weeds interfere with swimming and boating and, if left unchecked, they can spread to the point of choking the lake, which is only 12 feet deep at its deepest point.
