This pond is located off Weyburn Road (SR 655) south of the village of Somerset. It is part of an abandoned brick mining facility and is off limits to the public, however it can be viewed from the road fairly easily. The main pond is rather deep and lacking in any sort of banks or aquatic vegetation, typical of such quarry ponds. A much nicer looking pond can be seen on aerial imagery in the back of the property, unfortunately, this is not visible from the road. Numerous duck species have been recorded here, and a Dickcissel was found singing in the weedy, cedar-studded habitat regenerating here in the summer of 2019. Parking is available at a gate located right next to the main pond, which is just south of the aforementioned railroad crossing.
