Mendon Ponds Park, County park in Monroe County, United States
The 2,500-acre park features multiple ponds, wetlands, forests, and trails spread across the towns of Mendon and Pittsford.
Monroe County established the park in 1928 with an initial purchase of 1,400 acres for $185,000, expanding it over subsequent decades.
The park serves as a regional center for outdoor education, with programs focusing on wildlife observation and natural resource conservation.
Visitors can access 21 miles of trails, six enclosed lodges, seven open shelters, and facilities for activities such as cross-country skiing and horseback riding.
The Devil's Bathtub, a kettle hole lake, maintains different water temperatures at various depths, making it one of the few meromictic lakes in North America.
