The refuge islands in this large pond provide a year-round home for ducks, geese and a new resident beaver. A variety of migratory ducks spend their winters here, and kingfishers and great blue herons feast on the small amphibians and fish found in the pond.

The shoreline is ringed with native western azaleas, viburnums, red and yellow osier dogwoods, and red alders.
