Follins Pond is a brackish lake that connects to Nantucket Sound via the Bass River. It is believed by many to be the mysterious Village known as Vinland, a viking settlement 500 years before European Contact in the western hemisphere. While evidence supporting this theory is at best circumstantial locals and visitors debate the possibilities while touring by boat from Bass River to the pond.
