Access to Cook Pond is provided by a paved boat ramp. It is located at the end of Henry Street, which is off Laurel Street. The paved parking area can accommodate approximately 50 vehicles. Under the management of the Office of Fishing and Boating Access of the Department of Fish and Game are scheduled for rebuilding. Once completed, the day to day maintenance of the new facility will be the responsibility of the city of Fall River under the guidelines of the Department.

Cook Pond Description
Cook Pond is a 154 acre warmwater pond, which has an average depth of 10 feet and a maximum depth of 18 feet. This pond is also known as Laurel Lake. The fertile water has a transparency of 6.5 feet or less, and the bottom is composed of rubble, rock and muck. The 2.6 miles of shoreline are only lightly developed despite the high population density of the surrounding area. Emergent vegetation is common and submergent vegetation is scant. A heavy algae bloom often occurs during the summer months. Boaters should beware of the numerous rocks that occur in this pond, especially in the northern end.
