It's the color of this small pond that inspires the name of this beautiful nature area. In autumn, its waters turn very dark, almost black, due to the pigment from the leaves of the trees. It is important to not disturb the pool, as it is a critical breeding site for wood frogs and other local wildlife.

There is a fairly dense trail that leads back to Black Pond, a small and definitely black swamp with a bridge over it. I was there in the height of summer and it was only a little buggy, but I imagine it would be quite beautiful in the fall. There aren't many people here, so it's more quiet and secluded than the Arboretum. If you get tired of the usual campus activities, this is a good place to go for a walk or even a bike ride.
