There is a public boat launching facility on Old Hatchery Road off [[Maine State Route 188]]. A ridge creates a narrow portion of the pond separating a smaller northern basin from the larger southern basin. Summer [[oxygen]] concentrations often become unfavorably low in the northern basin. The most significant tributary is Smelt Brook draining Upper Cold Stream Pond and Little Round Pond into the northern basin from [[Lincoln, Maine|Lincoln]]. The southwestern corner of the pond overflows through Cold Stream, {{convert|5|mi|km}} south to reach the [[Passadumkeag River]] {{convert|2|mi|km}} upstream of the [[Penobscot River]]. Cobb State Fish Hatchery is located beside the outlet, using water from the pond to raise fish for stocking elsewhere. A self-sustaining native population of [[lake trout]] spawn in Webb Cove in the southeastern corner of the pond. The lake trout forage on a population of [[rainbow smelt]] spawning in Smelt Brook. [[Atlantic salmon]] were introduced to the pond in 1876.<ref name=f&g/>
