Rabbit Pond is part of the Shawsheen River watershed and has a surface area of about 0.2 square kilometers. Rabbit Pond is named after the abundance of rabbits that used to live in the surrounding woods, but have since declined due to habitat loss and predation.
Tucked behind the Andover Inn on the Phillips Academy campus is a small pond that has been the site of a myriad of uses. The public today has access to this site, and, if one is lucky, a Great Blue Heron may still happen by.
