Mary's Pond, also known as Marys Pond, is an 81-acre (330,000 m2) kettle pond in Rochester, Massachusetts. The pond is located east of Leonards Pond. The average depth is 12 feet (3.7 m), and the maximum depth is 32 feet (9.8 m). Rochester's town beach is located on the northwestern shore of the pond along Mary's Pond Road.

In 2011, amid plans to create a recreation area on the popular beach, a title search revealed that the beach was privately owned. Although the town of Rochester maintains Mary's Pond Road through an easement, and although the State of Massachusetts maintains the pond itself, the beach is now closed to the public.[1]
