Hapgood Pond
The Hapgood Pond recreation site will be under construction early in the season which may affect when the pond is filled with water. The non-motorized boat launch will be improved by constructing a gravel ramp which will greatly improve the visitor experience and access for getting boats in the water. Construction is planned before the campground opens for the season on May 22nd however due to many variables including favorable weather the project could still be underway into June. The pond will be filled for swimming and stocked with trout for fishing as soon as the boat ramp improvements are completed. Thank you for your patience as we improve the site for future use.
