Townshend Pool Details

This small pond may only be 6-feet deep and 30-feet wide, but it is a secluded spot that is rarely on the radar of tourists and locals. So, if you are lucky, you just might have the entire pool to yourself. However, you just have to walk a few hundred yards down the banks, and you will reach the Townshend Dam, which is a much busier area with a beach and picnic facilities.
