Peck Pond, Pulaski State Park and Recreational Area, Glocester, RI

Posted by Wayne G. Barber  Photos by Wayne G. Barber

Location Information:  Peck Pond, Pulaski State Park, Glocester, RI

Date 12-28-17 Temp 7 degrees, 17 mph wind, 6-8 inches of Ice. 
Results: 1 Largemouth 2.8 lb 15 inches, 4 yellow perch, 1 large pickerel lost in the weeds. Albert Gaulin landed all the fish and we purchased some nice lively shiners and some dillies for our jigging hardware at Big Bear Putnam Pike in Harmony, RI Some people shoveled off a 60foot area for skating and a good spot for a small fire to roast some kielbasa. The beaver huts were exciting for the grandchildren and also a very nice Owl. Year round family fun at Pulaski Park. Bathhouse is closed in winter but the old fashioned outhouse brought back a lot of memories growing up on a farm. No Sears catalog was in the Outhouse though.

The Pond is called Peck Pond and borders Thompson, Conn and Glocester, RI and the Counties are Windham, Conn. and Providence County, RI.
 Physical features; 13 Acres with a maximum depth of 14 feet. Basin is manmade and a average depth is 4.7 feet. No fall draining on this moving water with a very pretty bridge to join the two States.
 Known fish population: Largemouth Bass,Golden trout, Chain pickerel and red fin pickerel, brown bullhead, golden shiner, yellow perch, common sunfish and stocked salmonids, spring and fall.
Ice Fishing: This beautiful body of clean water is the first to lock-up in the Ocean State for early ice fishing. Use smaller shiners and pinheads along with your popular hardware for some great perch jigging sweetened up with a meal worm or dillie. Some days great for a hike or snow shoeing, cross county, snow shoeing or use the pinetree shade in the hot summer for a old fashion affordable picnic and a dip. Bathrooms in warm weather and a outhouse for winter use was open today.
