This natural pond is relatively clean and therefore is a good refilling spot for backpackers (at the northern outlet). Swimming and boating are not allowed. Only a few species of fish (e.g. Pumpkinseed Sunfish and yellow perch) can tolerate the naturally slightly acidic waters. At the north end is a an outlet from the pond. This small brook first flows under rocks, then emerges into a steam. Despite being mildly acidic, the water from this brook is safe to drink. Just filter it first!
