Lake Lashaway is a 293-acre (1.19 km²) pond located near the East Brookfield and North Brookfield, Massachusetts town line. The Lake Lashaway Community Association’s website is www.LakeLashaway.org. The town line cuts the lake approximately in half. The lake lies just to the north of state Route 9 as it passes through East Brookfield.

Description

The average depth is 10 feet (3.05 m) with the maximum depth about 18 feet (5.49 m). The water is blue in color and quite warm in the summertime. Numerous houses and cabins line the shore, being a summertime retreat for many, and full-time residences for others. A well-known children’s summer camp, Camp Atwater, is on the north shore in North Brookfield. Lake Lashaway is part of the Chicopee River Watershed.

Lake Lashaway Dam on the East Brookfield River impounds the waters of the Five Mile River and a local aquifer in North Brookfield, forming Lake Lashaway. Outflow from this dam feeds Quaboag Pond, about two miles (3 km) down the river, the headwaters of the Quaboag River.
