This small public natural area is located on Lake Pamona Road, near Camp Viking but not on Lake Pamona itself. It features a short boardwalk and is a good example of a tidal wetland. Meredith Belford writes that it’s [traditionally] known as Youmans Pond. It was owned by Hoke Youmans and later became county property for greenspace.
