Description

This pond or lake was named by 5th graders from the Poston Elementary School. The Forest held a contest to name the pond. The 5th grade class submitted names, and the York Township Trustees took the names and selected the winning entries. The child who had suggested the winning name said he chose it because "There are probably frogs in there and the lake is in the woods."

Other local names for pond, shown below, include: 5-acre pond and Avis Pond. The pond was the result of Avis Coal Company stripping the area.
