Bretts Pond is surrounded by the Town of Millsboro and there is a rich history in the area of the Nanticoke Indians who were the original settlers here. The pond is shallow and best explored by a small boat. Electric motors are permitted but size is restricted by the shallow water. The fishing population is good and includes largemouth bass, black crappie, pumpkinseed, white perch, yellow perch, and pickerel. The lake is largely surrounded by this forest and part of the shore allows viewing of the Town of Millsboro.
