Ninigret Salt Pond

Land Use

Why is the salt pond unique?

The Ninigret Salt Pond region is used for a variety of recreational activities as well as oyster and quahog aquaculture.  This region contains natural and historical benefits which contribute to its uniqueness.  The Salt Pond region extends from the barrier beach that separates the ponds from the ocean to the inland boundary of the watershed of the pond. The extraordinary landscape, the salt pond and ocean, the soft sandy beaches and the moderate climate contribute to the popularity of the region.
