}}Spot Pond is a lake in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.[1] The pond is within the Middlesex Fells Reservation, a Massachusetts state park.[2]

Spot Pond was named in 1632 by colonial governor John Winthrop.[3]

The pond contains Great Island, a lake island. Great Island is known to contain an old granite marker with the mysterious inscription "Where Shute Fell". It is unknown who installed the marker, and for what reason.[4] Possibly, it is related to a Wrestler from Haywardsville, as many wrestling matches and pricefights were held on the island.[5]

Spot Pond lends its name to the Spot Pond Archeological District, the site of the former Hayward Rubber Works and an extinct mill town.[6]
