Childs Pond covers about 10 acres and is surrounded by forested hills and wetlands. It is located on the west side of US-5. There is a public boat launch and a small beach area on the south shore of the pond. 

Childs Pond (10 acres) is a site for the Vermont LoonWatch annual survey. Birders are encouraged to volunteer as often and whenever they are able. See Join LoonWatch for details.
