pond is stocked with trout, which makes it a popular local fishing spot and a
great place to teach beginners and kids how to cast a line.
Those who are interested in a small rural town with
plenty of space, Rochester might be for you. There are
four localities: North Rochester, East Rochester, Bisbee
Corner, and Varella Corner. North Rochester is mostly
rural with farms, forests, and some residential streets;
it is also home to Snipatuit Pond and Great Quittacas
Pond. East Rochester borders Marion and West
Wareham and is largely characterized by farmland and
a few kettle ponds. Many homes are set between and
on farmland and thick wooded areas border backyards,
offering quiet country living without being too removed
from larger commercial areas. Rochester is 10 miles
northeast of New Bedford, 40 miles east is Providence,
Rhode Island, and 60 miles south of Boston.
