Awww, little Ella shares her catch on Dragonfly Pond!

Let us know if you catch any other types of fish.  Send us a photo!

Dragonfly Pond is right outside your door at 

, but there are many fishing options nearby.  Guests may enjoy fishing on nearby Pine Creek.  Pine Creek is a short walk down the dirt lane from the cottage.  Follow the little babbling creek that runs along the property - it runs straight down to Pine Creek.  The dirt lane is a public roadway with private land on either side.  The dirt lane ends at Pine Creek, where you will also notice a small camp-out area with camper(s), pavilion, and fire pit (private property).  But you CAN continue all the way to Pine Creek, past the campsite.

There are great fishing spots at local bridges along Pine Creek, also.  Consider taking a ride or hike to find the perfect location (the closest spot is at the "yellow bridge").

Since Clover's Cottage is private property, no fishing license is required.  We welcome catch-and-release (please push in the barb on your hook to increase the likely survival of the fish you catch), or catch-and-eat (keep only those that are large enough that you will enjoy cleaning and consuming).  If fishing off-property, be mindful of Pennsylvania fishing laws and fishing license requirements (short-term licenses are easy to obtain at the local Walmart).

Please keep safety in mind and monitor your children while they fish.  

Dragonfly Pond is a spring and creek-fed pond that changes every season.  In the hottest, driest times of year, algae and duckweed grow on the pond.  We utilize two pond-bottom aerators to increase water flow and help inhibit algae growth but at this point, the poor pond is simply just OLD.  

Built in the mid-1960s by the Army Corps of Engineers (we have been told), the pond has survived at least one hurricane (Agnes) and some serious tropical storms (2011, most notably).  These storms have deposited tremendous debris in the pond, and muskrats have done their best to break through the clay liner.  While the water levels remain constant, the depth of the pond is insufficient to keep the water and fish healthy.

The time has come to rebuild the pond by draining it, dredging it, relining it, and refilling it.  We will reinforce the earthen dam, and will need to build a small road (and possibly a bridge) to gain access.  It is a BIG PROJECT, which is planned for the summer of 2026.

Until then, guests can expect the pond will have algae growth in the summer, and likely fewer fish to catch.  But the pond is still beautiful, fine for boating, and a great spot for dogs to get their swim on!!!
