Records Pond

Records Pond is a gorgeous pond that is encircled by trees and vegetation and is located in the town of Laurel along Broad Creek. Paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking are all excellent activities there. Records Pond, also called Laurel Lake, is a small body of water that has a maximum depth of 10 feet. From the northern coast, you can reach the waters by renting a boat from the Trap Pond State Park Marina. The lake is particularly picturesque due to the surrounding lush vegetation.

The largemouth bass, crappie, pumpkinseed, bluegill, bullhead, pickerel, white perch, and yellow perch are among the fish species that can be caught in this pond by anglers. Locals call the fishing pier in the pond's southwest corner "Laurel Pond," and it is there. The lake's northern shoreline is accessible by boat just east of US Route 13.

Records Pond's size means that only tiny boats can be used for boating. Small motorboats and canoes aren't the only common watercraft. Records Pond's headwaters are fed by the James Branch, which emerges from Trap Pond. It passes by natural bald cypress trees, including a champion tree that is 127 feet tall and nearly 25 feet in diameter, as it passes through a designated nature preserve.
