  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. This falls in or next to protected ground, so rules will be tighter than usual. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Rowley Pond sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Gaylord Pond is worth confirming on the day.
