That's a nice looking pond. How many acres is it?
How's the view from the deck on the back of the house?

Very, very nice! It's amazing how different it looks when finished. Is the water all runoff or do you have any springs? ...or maybe I should ask how much the level varies between seasons? In your photo the pond looks completely full. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

herdfan, thanks for the compliement. I think the pond is about 2.5 acres. I need to have some survey corners marked again and will ask the surveyor to tell me for sure how big it is.
As far as the view, I'm going to post 2 pictures taken last December. The daylight one is taken from our screened porch. The night one was taken from the other side of the house. This past fall I got interested in landscape lighting - you can see part of the results.

Jinman, before the pond was built, I had an underground spring that brought water to the top of the ground. While we were digging the pond, we were in a severe drought, and never found the first drop of water. I thought sure we would find the spring, but never did.
I have about 15 acres surrounding the pond - mostly all woods. We get runoff from that acreage. This past summer we had more rainfall than in past summers, so the water level stayed even with the overflow pipe. It will be interesting to see how much the water level changes when we have a typical dry North Carolina summer.
