 The 16th Annual Austin Pond Society Pond Tour will be held on Saturday, June 12 (south) and Sunday June 13 (north) from 9 am until 5 pm, with a night tour from 8:00 to 10:30 pm on Saturday, the 12th.
It is a great opportunity to see a variety of ponds from small to
large, simple to extravagant, Austin-weird and conventional, natural
and formal, and owner and professionally built. After taking in the
beauty and serenity of ponds on the tour, you will probably want to add
one of these beautiful and relaxing water features to your own property.
We anticipate at least 12 ponds to tour each day and 2 on Saturday night. The ponds will be located all over Austin and in neighboring communities. Check back at this website
for more information as it becomes available, including pond locations
and descriptions, maps and tour guide booklets or contact Cliff Barkley

a great way to spend a weekend!
