SWIMMING POND
We have a swimming pond nearby with a little beach. You might also enjoy using our paddle board on the pond!
FISHING
We also invite you to fish in our pond. You are welcome to keep and eat any fish that you like, with the exception of all bass under 12 inches. Please be sure to release these until they get to breeding age in order to help us ensure the healthiness of our pond. Anything larger than 13 inches is all yours!
