No streams flow into the pond, though a nearby stream "captures water that otherwise would have flowed to Trustom Pond".Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge, inhabited by an estimated 300 species of birds, as well as some 40 species of mammals and 20 species of reptiles and amphibians.

Browning's Beach Historic District is a historic district west of the junction between Card Pond and Matunuck Beach Roads in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. It encompasses a cluster of four beach houses located on a barrier beach facing Long Island Sound south of Cards Pond, and accessed via a private gravel drive extending from Cards Pond Road.

Typical architectural elements include shingle siding, recessed porches, and chalet-style roofs.

The North Cape oil spill took place on January 19, 1996, when the tank barge North Cape and the tug Scandia grounded on Moonstone Beach in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, after the tug caught fire in its engine room during a winter storm. An estimated 828,000 US gallons (3,130 m3) of home heating oil was spilled. Oil spread throughout a large area of Block Island Sound, including Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, resulting in the closure of a 250-square-mile (650 km2) area of the sound for fishing. Hundreds of oiled birds and large numbers of dead lobsters, surf clams, and starfish were recovered in the weeks following the spill. US federal and Rhode Island state governments undertook considerable work to clean up the spill and restore lost fishery stocks and coastal marine habitat. The North Cape oil spill is considered a significant legal precedent in that it was the first major oil spill in the continental U.S. after the passage of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, resulting from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska on March 24, 1989.
