Child's Pond is a kettle pond, created by a chunk of ice that broke off a glacier and slowly melted here. Nowadays the pond is replenished by groundwater and runoff — not by the surprisingly close-by Connecticut River. There is only one type of fish here — bullheads — but this little pond is considered a real birding hot spot.
