I asked around to a few friends in the construction line about putting in a pond but no one seems to have any information or can lead me in the correct direction. I have been tossing around the idea of putting a small pond in at my camp in Venango County.
I have just under 3 acres of property this includes a drive way, a small wooded section, the camp, and approx. 2 acre lot. My thoughts were to put a 1 acre or ¾ acre pond in on that lot. I would think what 15 foot deep? Something that will look nice while creating a fun filled atmosphere for my children to play, fish, and swim.
I have no clue as to where I should start looking to research this project. Does anyone have an idea where I should start to look? Do I need permits, if so from whom? Do I need to get approval from any place? Does anyone have an educated guess as to what a project like this would cost?
Any help at all is greatly appreciated,
Scott
