Other landscaping and pond projects Each fall we drain our fish ponds and clean them. The fish are harvested and frozen over the winter. Here you can see Daniel our caretaker managing the drain pump on the Trout pond. You can also see parts of the vinyl liner that is exposed below the initial layer of rocks. Top right is the submersible circulation and waterfall pump encased in a plastic filtration barrel. There are also 7 underwater lights to enhance the nighttime beauty of the fish swimming. Halfway up our access road we transformed an old swamp adjoining our neighbours property into a beautiful pond. No artificial products or liners were introduced. Instead we added a circulation pump and waterfall to aerate the water. The water source itself is natural, mainly from accumulated rainfall and ground seepage. Nature has begun to reclaim most of the pond. Lately we have built the trestle of the Manitou and Northern Railway over the north end of the pond, traversing the outlet into the forest.
