Spring Pond named from Mineral Spring, Mineral Pond, once known as the little lake of Lynnmere, rests in the corners of three cities of Lynn, Peabody once Danvers, and Salem, Massachusetts. In the center of these townships, as quoted "is a beautiful pond". It is a secluded lake known to the nearby residents of these three cities and the visitors who come for retreat to enjoy the camps, trails and natural environment of the woods. As stated: "It is in fact one of the most picturesque and romantic lakelets in Massachusetts." Stretching from Spring Pond to Marblerough Road in Salem, the pond and woods of nature form a little world of beauty all by itself. On the edge of Spring Pond was once the home of the Fay Farm, an English manor estate in New England. The mansion of Fay Farm was once a famous watering place hotel in 1810, where the springs of these areas were once recognized as possessing valuable medicinal qualities. People visited the springs by Spring Pond to restore health, and worship the goddess Hygeia (Gr. word for Health) and drink from the rusty iron-rich water that trickled from the foot of a bank. Later, some traveled there solely to worship at the shrines of Bacchus and Venus. The hotel was then transformed into a private residence when "Classical" worship fell. The waters of Spring Pond are conveyed from living springs which lay below Spring pond and its surrounding areas, through Danvers, Lynn and Salem. Spring Pond is one of the Massachusetts Great Ponds
