This large pond lies at the intersection of Free Mason Run Road (Rt 747) and Natural Chimney Road (731). There is a small parking area near the pond next to 747. It's usually worth making a stop here to look for kingfisher, herons and waterfowl such as Northern Shoveler, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Northern Pintail, and Redhead. A small group of Eurasian Collared-Dove lived in the trees alongside Natural Chimney Road but few have been seen in recent years. Other birds to be seen here include woodpeckers, swallows, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Cedar Waxwing.
