William B. Pond Picnic Facilities — Attraction in Contiguous United States

This park is probably up there in one of my favorite places, worldwide.

Do exercise situational awareness as the trail is multi-use. Our 5k was met with many other trail users and we also saw deer, ducks, and many different birds and insects. Excellent natural scenery.
