82-acre pond near Rindge. NH GRANIT / NH Fish & Game survey water. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Grassy Pond maps at 82 acres behind 1.4 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. Cheshire County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Bullet Pond, is 1 mi to the northeast.
