This little 20-acre pond is named after the man who built its earthen dam in the early 1900s; his goal was to attract waterfowl. Nowadays most of the land around the pond has reverted to natural forest (with some agriculture nearby as well), resulting in an informal nature preserve of several hundred acres.
