Childs Hollow is a pond named after Charles Childs, a pioneer who once owned much of what is today Fontenelle Forest. There is a boardwalk that descends down to the pond. This is a great place to sport wildlife!

We saw turkey near here and the noise from the frogs was deafening! There must have been hundreds but we never saw a single one!
