Beaver Pond

Beaver Trail

In the pond, the active beaver dam can be seen. Piles of sticks and mud slow the flow of water from upstream, forming a shallow pool of water. Other evidence of beaver activity include tree stumps that have been gnawed into a triangular point. In this area, there may also be snapping turtles moving through the depths of the water. Painted turtles, red-eared sliders, or northern red-bellied cooters may be basking on fallen logs.
