Double B, was gonna mention this in my first response but just plain forgot after making such a mammoth reply. I have a 1/4 acre pond and it is a great little BOW, ask my grandbrats and the few friends I let fish it. If a bit over an acre looks small on paper, wait till you have to start to battle invasive plants, species and poachers. I wish I had enough to dig several 1/4 acre ponds or even more smaller ponds. Read what Cecil does with several ponds under an acre. I understand folks wanting bigger BOWs for jet skies, sail boats or the desire to have tons of fish. That is all fine but I'm sure by the time you have grandkids that you will be tired of trying to balance such a small BOW. Be glad you are able to not live in a city.
