There are three ponds in the Waterford North Conservation Area: Pickerel, Willow, and Bass Lakes. These ponds are excellent examples of gravel pit rehabilitation, with deep rocky bottoms and pronounced shorelines. Outside of and to the east of the conservation area is Shadow Lake. The ponds are home to an array of fish species including largemouth bass, northern pike and a variety of panfish.
Black Bridge looks out onto panoramic views of the Waterford Ponds to the west, and the small, picturesque downtown area to the east. Black Bridge is a century old 166 metre long railway bridge that was once a part of the Lake Erie & Northern Railroad. The last train on the railroad ran in the early 1990’s and the bridge has since been incorporated into the Waterford Heritage Trail. This trail runs 19 km and connects to the Norfolk Sunrise Trail in the south and the Brantford T.H.&B. Trail to the north.
Waterford Ponds are a great place to kayak, paddleboard or canoe. All these caches were designed and placed with the intention of being accessed from the water. To access from land might result in TRESPASSING. This series has a variety of difficulties, so please do not try to attempt a cache out of your "comfort zone".
