    Hiking

    Blackwater Pond is a peaceful, shallow pond in the middle of Province Lands. Surrounded by trees, this slowly shrinking body of water is filled with lily pads and is home to many animals including frogs, turtles, and an abundance of waterfowl like ducks, Canada Geese, and herons. The famed poet Mary Oliver wrote about this pond in "In Blackwater Woods," which was first published in the Pulitzer Prize winning collection "American Primitive."
