Oh, i forgot to add that on one side of pond we dozed a narrow road (ledge), just above high water, tilted slightly back into hillside along pond edge. Kind of funnels the above slope drainage back towards upper end of pond and works good. Other side of pond is bedrock. Its steep but not going anywhere, again, our situations are different. BTW, welcome to PB, I am new too and just glad to have a few folks to yak at.
