Thompson Pond, National Natural Landmark lake in Pine Plains, New York, US
Thompson Pond spans 75 acres at the base of Stissing Mountain, forming the source of Wappinger Creek that flows to the Hudson River.
The 15,000-year-old glacial kettle pond received its National Natural Landmark designation in 1973 for its distinct calcareous bog characteristics.
The Nature Conservancy acquired the land in 1958 through public donations, establishing a protected area for environmental research and education.
The preserve maintains multiple hiking trails around the pond, including a wheelchair-accessible path leading to an observation point.
The pond supports 387 plant species and provides habitat for 162 bird species within its 507-acre preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy.
