Among Lake Assawompsett’s most prominent natural features are the White Banks, a large exposed bluff of fine light-colored sand on the lake’s northern shore between Lakeside and Owl Swamp in Middleborough. Centuries of wind have exposed these glacially-deposited sands, which throughout the historic era have been a noted landmark on the northern shore of the pond. Today, however, vegetation is encroaching upon the banks and the expanse visible from Lakeville is shrinking each year.
