I don't have specific, calculated square footage, but guesstimate about 1/4 ac of flooded timber. Might be a little larger...? We planned the pond footprint this way to enhance the natural habitat. The center of this area is a shallow draw that runs off to the neighbor's property. This draw has received a lot of attention right from the get-go cuz it dictates how high I can back up the pond water before compromising the property line. We are anxious to see the results of this man-made wetland zone. I anticipate a couple of trees at the shoreline will die and eventually fall into the actual pond basin. Good!...that's the plan. Great fish and wildlife habitat and a natural looking transition.
