Norwich-Pond
is a reservoir in Hampshire County's Hidden Hills region of central Massachusetts. The 122-acre pond is about a mile north of Route 66 in Huntington. The shoreline is lined with summer cottages and permanent homes and public access is available at the northeastern end of the pond. Twelve species of fish are in the pond: largemouth bass, chain pickerel, rainbow trout, yellow perch, white perch, black crappie, pumpkinseed, bluegill, brown bullhead, rock bass, white sucker and golden shiner. Fishing is especially heavy during April and May. Nearby attractions include Chesterfield Gorge, which is along the Westfield Wild & Scenic River, Glendale Falls, Notchville Reservation and Petticoat Hill Reservation. Other activities in the area include hiking, picnicking, birding, biking, golf, whitewater rafting and camping. It's also a great place for antiquing and shopping. The town of Huntington has several specialty shops and restaurants, and The Huntington Country Store, which offers gourmet chocolates, jewelry, wind chimes, baskets, Christmas ornaments, toys, ice cream and fresh baked goods.

Norwich Pond Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Central Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and humid. There is a large seasonal temperature variance in central Massachusetts, because places further inland do not have the moderating influence of the ocean. West-central Massachusetts has colder winters and cooler summers than areas along the coast. Summer thunderstorms are common, on average about 30 per year. Nor-easters (winter storms with winds coming from the Northeast) can drop a foot or more of snow. In summer, central Massachusetts is slightly more humid than the coast. In autumn, the air becomes crisp and sunny days bring bright and colorful foliage to the dense forests.
