About Bountiful Pond
The Bountiful Pond (officially the Bountiful Lake), nestled between the Bountiful City Landfill and the South Davis Sewer District, is a hotspot and migrant trap for passerines, gulls and terns, and waterfowl. It is within the city boundaries of West Bountiful, however, it is owned and maintained by the City of Bountiful. It is an artificial pond created with federal aid and a grant obtained by the City of Bountiful as a sports fishing restoration effort. Originally it was a quarry of sorts, where clay was dug out and used to seal the bottom of the landfill. Local streams and city runoff water are now diverted to flow into the pond. The pond is stocked with several species of fish, there is a parking lot, pit restroom, picnic tables and paths and planted trees. Adjacent to the outer regions of Farmington Bay, the diversity of birds that can show up at "the pond" can be surprising in this unassuming place. It is free and open to the public 24/7. There is a paved path that runs around most of the pond. Expect fishermen, horse riders and scout camping groups year round, especially on weekends. Best times to visit are week day mornings.
