It definately meanders along. The pond gets a tremendous flow through of water. for fun We put a 5 gallon bucket under the major outflow to see how quick it would fill. Even with alot of it missing the bucket, it still filled the 5 gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds.
There are several active springs and the pond gets alot of runoff fall, winter and spring.
If we dredge it deeper, it will fill very quickly.
