In 2010, its overall water quality was assessed as "good".[7] Winnapaug is relatively small and shallow, and is favorable for kayaking.[2] It is one of nine coastal lagoons, referred to as "salt ponds" by locals, in southern Rhode Island.[8][9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://iaspub.epa.gov/tmdl_waters10/attains_waterbody.control?p_list_id=&p_au_id=RI0010043E-09&p_state=RI&p_cycle=2008|title=National Assessment Database|publisher=U.S. Environmental Protection Agency|accessdate=2009-05-23}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.saltpondscoalition.org/winn%20pond.html|title=Winnapaug Pond|publisher=Salt Ponds Coalition|accessdate=2009-05-23}} 3. ^{{cite web|author=|title=Restore America’s Estuaries 4th National Conference on Coastal and Estuarine|year=2008|publisher=Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council|accessdate=2009-05-20|url=http://www.crmc.ri.gov/habitatrestoration/Restore_America_Field_Session_12.pdf}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=|title=South County icons|publisher=The Providence Journal|accessdate=2009-05-20|url=http://www.projo.com/southkingstown/icons.htm}} 5. ^{{cite web|author=|title=Winnapaug Pond|year=2000|publisher=The Columbia Gazetteer of North America|accessdate=2009-05-20|url=http://bartleby.com/69/49/W03749.html}} 6. ^{{cite web|author=|title=Salt Ponds Region|year=|publisher=Rhode Island Rivers Council|accessdate=2009-05-20|url=http://www.ririvers.org/Watersheds/SaltPondsWatershed.htm}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://ofmpub.epa.gov/tmdl_waters10/attains_waterbody.control?p_au_id=RI0010043E-09&p_cycle=2010&p_state=RI&p_report_type=|title=2010 Waterbody Report for Winnapaug Pond|accessdate=11 August 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web|author=Donald Wyatt|title=Rhode Island's last execution|year=1995|publisher=FAQs.org|accessdate=2009-05-25|url=http://www.faqs.org/abstracts/General-interest/The-salt-ponds-of-Rhode-Island-They-go-back-a-long-way.html}} 9. ^{{cite web|author=S.W.
