Lake Cochituate is a 635 acre Great Pond located off of Route 9 and Route 30 at the intersection of the towns of Framingham, Natick, and Wayland. The lake is divided into three major basins, which are connected by navigable culverts. The Southern Basin is the largest at 257 acres and has an average depth of 19 feet and also contains the lakes deepest point at 69 feet. The middle basin is 144 acres and has an average depth of 26 feet and the northern basin is 216 acres and has an average depth of 30 feet. The pond bottom is primarily mud and gravel with the exception of the southern half of the southern basin which contains considerable areas of sand. Aquatic vegetation is common along the shore and water transparency is typically between 5 and 7 feet. While the surrounding areas are thickly developed, much or the immediate shoreline is contained within Cochituate state park and is undeveloped.
