This is one of the deepest ponds at MNP and was one of the first ones to be restored. It is located in the middle of the Preserve and is home to a variety of species, which include ducks, aquatic insects, muskrats, turtles, and fish. This Observation Platform was built in 2024 for hikers to get a closer view of the changes this pond goes through throughout the year! 

Paul's Pond

We are a guiding example of habitat restoration by returning 510 acres of farmland to a mosaic of forests, prairies and wetlands. We work to instill environmental empathy and action into the consciousness of surrounding communities. Dog friendly and no tax dollars fund us!
