Additional Info:

Paddling Black Pond:

The pond is pretty quiet and an easy paddle but has interesting wildlife. The pond was very interesting for relaxing and exploring. It is bordered by some high rock cliffs and rock deposits. This is a large pond and most of it is just a few feet deep. Clear, still water and wildlife everywhere. This pond is great for those who appreciate quiet simple paddles for a few hours visit and exploration trips.
