The Bakers Brook Pond is a lake in Gros Morne National Park in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador .
Bakers Brook Pond is located in the Long Range Mountains to the west of the island of Newfoundland . The elongated lake has a length of 9.1 km and a maximum width of 1.1 km. The water area is 7.4 km². Bakers Brook Pond is oriented in an east-west direction. It is flanked in the south by the 756 m high Rocky Harbor Hills and in the north by the 795 m high Big Level . The lake is drained westward to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence via Bakers Brook .
Bakers Brook Pond, like Western Brook Pond , 7.5 km further north, was formed by glaciers around 25,000 to 10,000 years ago during the last glacial period. The glaciers have melted in the meantime and the land has risen as a result. The lake is now at an altitude of 110 m and has a maximum water depth of 118 m.
