Any guesses on how big it is??


WAG based upon assumptions, fuzzy math, and questionable science...

350 yards = 1,050 feet

130 yards at widest. Lets assume (you know that that does to you and me) that the average width is 1/2 that or 65 yards. 65 x 3 = 195 feet.

1,050 x 195 = 204,750 square feet.

204,750 square feet divided by 43,560 sqft/acre = 4.7 acres.

Therefore I feel that I can reasonable state that your pond is somewhere between zero and 20 acres.
