This pond was created by small depressions left by melting ice during the glacial era, which are now filled with water. Here, you can observe a diverse array of waterfowl and take a moment to unwind while enjoying the picturesque water views.

This highlight is well named because, depending on the season, you can certainly see Bufflebead ducks swimming on this pond. Other seasonal ducks to watch for are Ring-necked Duck and Hooded Merganser.
