Pearly Lake or Pearly Pond is a 1921NaN1 water body in the town of Rindge, Cheshire County, southwestern New Hampshire, United States.[1] Formerly known as Tarbell Pond,[2] named for Revolutionary War Minuteman Lieut. Samuel Tarbell (1744-1828) who settled here, the lake is one of the headwaters of Tarbell Brook, a tributary of the Millers River, which flows southwest to the Connecticut River at Millers Falls, Massachusetts.[3]

The undergraduate campus of Franklin Pierce University is located on the northeast shore of the lake.

The lake is classified as a warmwater fishery, with observed species including largemouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, bluegill, horned pout, American eel, and green sunfish.[4]
