HISTORY

This was a favorite recreation area. It was used for swimming and picnics. It was surrounded by trees and was very pleasant.

Someone convinced the owner that dynamiting the spring that fed this pond would increase the water flow. He tried it, but the water flow stopped and the pond dried up.
