A year ago, our acre pond had just been finished. Here is a link to
some photos showing the difference a year makes.

Yes, they did a super job. Probably a great swimmin' hole in the Summer.
Jim, do you folks ever use it as such?

I almost expected to see a tire hanging from a tree next to it.

Kurt,

You are right on target. The weedy area to the right of the dock is a
'platform' beach that will run from 12" to 48" deep and be a play area
for grandkids. I will have to bring in a grass carp to keep it clear
(They eat plants.)

If you look closely at the 'dirt only' picture, you can see a person
standing on the platform, just to the right in front of the center
pine tree. The dock forms the end of the platform/beach area.

Lucky kids.

If you've got the deluxe swimming pool, I've got the algae-filled hotub.

Fish are happy, they nibble on my legs when I've gone in to clean.

I want some of these. I wonder if we can get them in the US?

As I think about it, we are going to have a zip line across the pond
for the kids. No trees for tires, but a great run for a zip line.

Nice. It looks so natural. How did you make it watertight? It doesn't
look like a liner pond.

=======================
Is it spring fed or just run off? Our neighbor has a nice stock pond that
fills from run off. This summer, with the endless drought and heat, it's
completely dried up.

Our pond is run off. Once full, it could take a big drought. Not
full, it has had problems. It would be a record that would drain a 6'
pond!
It would also set me up to start over with the fish. Don't want to do
that!

I keep wanting six to ten inches of what Texas is getting.
