We were not impressed. There was just something about the place that was creepy. The water was brackish, which, admittedly, could have been due to the recent rain, but it had an odd salt marsh/swampy feel. Deb kept saying she expected a stone hand, dripping seaweed, to emerge and grab her.
The "facility" - read outhouse - was in deplorable condition; we really didn't want to use it. The toilet seat was thrown on the ground outside, and what was left was covered in ... well, let's just say Deb gagged and refused. The watershed volunteer who was there checking boats for invasive plant life, who was a really nice guy, said it had been that way for a while ... at least since last year. Yuck.
At a glance, the pond itself looked pretty. There were people fishing, but there was not much to see.
Very little chance we would ever go back.
There is a public boat launch.
Just don't use the outhouse.
