Farrar Pond is an 88-acre pond in the southwestern corner of Lincoln. A wooded trail offers winding scenic vistas along the southern shoreline.

Farrar Pond was originally a low-lying hay field called Oaky Bottom. In the early 1900s, Edward R. Farrar flooded Oaky Bottom to create the pond we see today. Recognizing the area’s conservation value and the appeal for development, the Town, a residential developer, and the LLCT created an open space and development plan for the Pond in the 1970s. These proactive planning measures allowed development on the upland sections of the pond and ensured conservation along the pond’s shoreline.
