Glen Rock Duck Pond — Attraction in Glen Rock

The pond also has a fountain in the middle which keeps the water circulating so that it doesn't become stagnant. Especially necessary with all the geese flying in and out of here.

You can park in several spaces including one in the front and one close to the dock in the back.
