Introduction:

This Inisfreean body of water is named due to its form; while the two ponds by Arch City reach a depth near their center of a few stories, this pond instead is barely waist-deep all the way across, and, of course, is in the shape of a circle.

 

–

Dimensions & Layout:

This pond measures 1,188 feet across, and is a perfect circle, making its water’s surface area just over 1,107,905 square feet.  Its greatest depth is at its center; about three feet, and this depth gradually decreases out in all directions toward its encircling banks and shoreline.  At one point, it opens into a stream which connects with Inisfree’s main canyon river.

Zoning here prevents any developments or even camping; you will see only the surrounding banks and forested slopes, not a single house, high-rise, or tent.  There are also only trails here; footpaths.  No streets or highways are permitted.

Special Features:

Like many Inisfreean bodies of water, from this city’s lake to its swimming pools and even some of its bathtubs and ceilings, the bottom surface of this pond begins to subtly twinkle at nightfall, its embedded LEDs functioning like programmed fiber-optic Christmas lights on timers and faders.

Rules of the Rangers:

Like Park Rangers, at this pond we have Inisfreean girls (ICVs) politely ensuring everyone visiting stays on foot; no watercraft such as jet-skis are allowed.  The goal is to keep this body of water as smooth and calming as possible, only ripples on its surface from the normal local breezes able to be seen.  We think you’ll really enjoy the result.
