If you’re planing to go to the park, take the north entrance! Here is goin to give you a dead end. Here is more for people who want to get in the water either for fishing or kayaking.

I can see the pond from my back porch and it’s one of my favorite things about living out here. I would say five stars if I didn’t have to listen to airboats at 7 am every Sunday

Nice that the waters been back now for a few years. I think it was about 10 years it was mostly dry. Took our canoe out and was amazed at how crystal clear the water is. I would give this place 5 stars if they would build a dock.

Over the years, the pond has seen its fair share of ups and downs, going through a period of drought for about a decade. Today, it has emerged anew, boasting crystal-clear waters that attract fishing enthusiasts and kayakers alike. Accessible primarily from the north entrance, Watermelon Pond is suited for visitors who love getting into the water. Whether you are setting off for a day of fishing, leisurely canoeing, or simply enjoying the serene vistas from your boat, this pond promises a delightful escape. Locals particularly appreciate the maintenance of the area, although suggestions have been made for the addition of a dock to enhance the experience further. Beyond the water, the surrounding parkland caters to trail walkers and nature lovers, offering well-kept paths and stunning views. Whether you're an angler casting a line from the boat ramp or a family planning a quiet day by the water’s edge, Watermelon Pond presents a peaceful retreat with its clear waters and lush scenery.
