The pond is relatively shallow (maximum depth 11 ft) and has smooth ledge areas on the perimeter. The swimming area can be accessed via a short walk from a parking area.
No lifeguards are on duty and the access road (Lake Wood Rd) does not open until June 1. Be aware: Swimming in natural areas poses risks. Your safety depends on your own good judgement.
