Old Mill Pond

Around this time of year back in 2015 the dam holding this pond water broke due to the unheard of volume of rain in a 24 hour period. The water poured in from upstream where the next pond dam also broke. And the dirt dam on a pond above that one. The process was long and costly to get the dams rebuilt. The pond above this one has been redone for a couple of years. This one took way longer as it is a privately owned site. All the red tape and many dollars to get to this point.

The town has built a walking trail around this pond which will connect in the near future to the other pond dam and a park in town so that walkers can make a 4 mile loop.

I am not much of a sidewalk walker but since I had to be in town for something I made it to the pond for the one mile walk. The reflections in the water made me happy.


I hope it makes you smile too!
