This pond was dug in the late 1940's and quickly filled with water from bubbling underground springs.
It is approximately ten feet deep in the center, and supports a variety of fish including blue gill, largemouth bass, and pike. It also supports a variety of birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
The bubbling springs keep the water level at seasonal averages throughout the year.
