History: Aunt Edies Pond is a Massachusetts Great Pond and part of the Six Ponds Resource Management Initiative of the Harwich Conservation Trust (harwichconservationtrust.org/protecting-a-hidden-gem-six-ponds-resource-management-initiative/).  Located off Oak Street and Lakeview Drive, the pond is shallow and populated with fish, turtles and pond lilies.  The east side of the pond is developed with private properties, while the west side retains pine-and-oak woodlands.
