Fourth Pond is a small freshwater pond approximately 1,200 metres in length, located in the Goulds area near St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula. Its proximity to town makes it one of the more accessible paddling destinations in the region.

Access is straightforward via Fourth Pond Road, which branches off Main Road in the Goulds. A parking area at the put-in accommodates six to eight vehicles, making it suitable for small groups or club outings. The pond is also regularly used for swimming, so paddlers should expect to share the water with other recreational users during warmer months.

The pond's shape offers some variety for paddlers, with interesting curves and inlets to explore rather than a simple open stretch of water. Wildlife sightings have included ducks, loons, and at least one reported moose, giving the paddle a degree of natural interest despite the pond's modest size. At 1,200 metres, a full circuit or out-and-back paddle is relatively short, making this a suitable option for beginners, those looking for a quick outing, or paddlers wanting to practice skills in calm, sheltered water.

Given its location on the Avalon Peninsula and its use as a swimming area, the pond is best suited to spring through fall paddling, consistent with the general paddling season in Newfoundland. No specific restrictions or regulations pertaining to paddling on Fourth Pond are known to apply.
