The pond has been stocked for years by MassWildlife. As of 2018 it is being stocked spring and fall with trout.[1] Access is provided by a town landing which consists of a rutted unimproved gravel ramp on the southwestern end of the pond, suitable for launching small boats and canoes. To reach the site take Quaker Meetinghouse Road to a right onto Pinkham Road. The access is at the end of a dirt road on the left (the first left after the entrance to Camp Hayward).

Spectacle Pond was sampled most recently on September 12, 1994 and seven species were collected: yellow perch, smallmouth bass, banded killifish, pumpkinseed sunfish, largemouth bass, brook trout and brown bullhead. In addition to brook trout, it is also stocked with rainbow trout and brown trout.[2]
