Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - So I want to dig a pond

Hello
I recently bought a home with 14 acres of pasture. I was thinking how great it would be to have a pond to fish and entertain by. I’m currently in the research stage and came across the forum.
My home has well water. There’s a dug up spring on one side, and what looks to be a spring fed concrete cistern on the other corner.

I see some low lying areas that I think excavation would be easier but once again, I have no clue really what to look for. Haha

Any info would be appreciated.

I’m from fayette county Pennsylvania (SW )

Read through and study the info in this link. Also study the posts on this forum here about trials and tribulations of having a leaker pond. Get several quotes and opinions from some good experienced dirt contractors. Cheapest very rarely produces the best results.
