Hello everyone, I bought a house in North Carolina with 3 1/2 acres that has a pond in back. Behind the pond is a densely wooded area with about 300 feet of winding intermittent stream. Deer bedding down back there. Pond is about 100 feet long and 50 feet wide and deepest 4 feet. no liner on the bottom, just really muddy. It is surrounded by a wood deck that has collapsed in a couple places due to erosion. It is densely overgrown with lotus, and has great local wildlife, deer, muskrat, frogs, bass, catfish, turtles, northern water snakes, great blue heron coming, etc. I like the wildlife but the pond just looks like one big mess of lotus. Need to figure out what this pond can be and how to get it there, need to fix the deck also. Any ideas how to get started?

Thanks,

Mikey
