Ell Pond, National Natural Landmark in Hopkinton, Rhode Island.
The 50-acre preserve contains a kettle hole pond surrounded by red maple and Atlantic white cypress trees within a swamp environment.
The Nature Conservancy acquired the land in 1972, leading to its designation as a National Natural Landmark in May 1974.
Scientists utilize this location for research on wetland ecosystems, examining the relationships between hydrophytic and xeric plant species.
Access to Ell Pond requires navigation through marked trails at 445 North Road, with parking available for seven vehicles.
The pond demonstrates ecological succession through distinct vegetation zones, forming a natural laboratory for environmental studies.
