During the wetter Springs, I do get substantial run-off from the neighbor and the woods. If this Spring is a wet one, the pond will be full by the end of April. The neighbor said his back yard hasn't flooded since the pond has been in, if you don't count 2009. He's had water almost to his back door before the pond was dug. There was 12" of water standing in the woods in 2009, and the woods didn't dry up until May. I had the forester from J.F. New swing by the year after I bought the place and he said the woods was a "wooded wetland", which normally sees about 6" of water in the Spring. I can't access the back of the property in the Spring because of the water about every other year.
