The pond was originally constructed by the Day family. The water in the pond turned a waterwheel, which in turn powered the saw of the family sawmill. When you visit, look for the stone foundations, the last reminders of those colonial times!
Leashed dogs are allowed in the picnic areas and hiking trails!
The park is open 8 am to sunset daily. Gates open the third Saturday in April and close for the season after Columbus Day weekend. Off season parking is available along Day Pond Rd, and on either side of the front gate.
