Santuit Pond is a 172-acre kettle hole pond located in Mashpee, Massachusetts with a maximum depth of 9 feet and an average depth of 5-6.5 feet. The bottom is predominantly sand overlain with muck, with some areas of gravel and rubble. The 3.4 miles of shoreline are moderately developed with homes and cranberry bogs, and the terrain is generally steep and wooded.

Access is provided via a town-managed gravel ramp off Timberlane Drive suitable for cartop boats, canoes, and light trailered boats. Parking is available for approximately six vehicles, though during summer months parking is restricted to town residents with stickers. Non-residents can still launch boats but must find nearby roadside parking.

The pond struggles with water quality issues, particularly cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms during summer months that can make the water appear "pea soup green". When blooms are present, paddlers should avoid water contact and rinse off after any exposure. The town installed floating solar-powered water circulators in 2012 to help control the cyanobacteria.

Wildlife viewing opportunities include river herring, which make an annual spring run up the Santuit River via a fish ladder rebuilt in 2013. The adjacent Santuit Pond Preserve offers hiking trails through pine-oak forest, beech-holly forest, maple swamps, and wet meadows, home to Eastern box turtles, spotted turtles, and various bird species.

The pond holds cultural significance for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe as a traditional meeting place and fishing area. Recent improvements include plans for shoreline vegetation enhancement, tribal artwork installations, and dedicated spaces for non-motorized boats.

Motor boat restrictions are under consideration to reduce sediment disturbance, which can worsen algal blooms. Paddlers should check current regulations and water quality advisories before visiting, particularly during summer months when algal blooms are most common.
