The most visible part of the park is the pond to which Chalmers and Malletts Creek drain. There is access to the water from Huron River Drive. Across the pond is a piece of land that is a beautiful example of an oak savanna community. This natural area is undergoing restoration efforts by the staff and volunteers of the Natural Area Preservation Division, including prescribed ecological burns and removal of non-native invasive plants. Access is by canoe only.Click here to view a printable map of South Pond Nature Area (pdf)Click here to link to Natural Area Preservation (NAP) websiteClick here to view a Natural Area Preservation (NAP) Newsletter from 2014 highlighting South Pond Nature Area (pdf)
