>>814310I've been looking for "mystery pond" all summer. Most of the ponds in my forest are up on ridge tops . The DNR dug them to help the deer population. I remember from 25 years ago there was one pond deep in a valley. The mystery was who dug it and why. also particularly hard to find since it doesn't show on USGS maps like the other ponds. earlier this season I was within 300 feet without knowing it. the hardwood festooned valley sides makes this place isolated from traffic noises
