We’ve lived at our property for about three years now, and I’m finally going to get around to renovating our 1/4 acre pond.

It went unmaintained for many many years by the previous owner so I have a lot to do. When full it should be around 9’-10’ at the deepest, but it won’t hold water. I attempted to fix a leak in the dam myself with no luck, so the pond stays a steady 3’-4’ deep. My neighbor told me he’s 90% positive it’s spring fed but I’m not sure how to confirm.

I’m thinking of just draining, cleaning the foot or so nasty muck from the bottom, and going the liner route. pond has no fish from we’ve seen. Just random turtles and nasty muskrats.

Anyways, I’m looking forward to this process and learning from this forum. Thanks!
