Hedges Pond is a 26-acre pond in the Cedarville section of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The pond is located more than one mile north of Cedarville's business district past the Route 3 underpass, southeast of Black Jimmy Pond (Hyles Pond), and east of Little Herring Pond. Camp Dennen lies along the eastern shore of the pond. The 30-acre camp, which is currently owned by The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, is up for sale. The Town of Plymouth, along with a non-profit group called Friends of Hedges Pond, is considering purchasing the camp site as well 60 acres of land along the western shore of the pond to save the land from ever being developed.
