I am a member of the town council and the pond actually belongs to the community. I am the one that is responsible for the parks and license. Being an avid fisherman all of my life I am more than glad to take this role. I will have to get back with you on what RR used the tracks. The tracks have since been ripped up and are long gone. I remeber as a small child seeing the old water tank sitting between the track and at that time the swamp. Our pond never really had any depth until approx. twenty years ago when it was drained and dug out. The whole project only cost $1000.00 because it was all donated. However with the watershed being primarly farmland and no added silt pond.....we have lost over half of that depth. Right now the pond is full and it is seven foot deep. I am hopeful that I can get some sort of fundraiser going to drain it next winter and dig it out.....and add the silt basin.
