About Trott's Pond
Trott's Pond is a small lake located in the northeast part of Bermuda. It's a unique spot because its water is a mix of fresh and salty water. This type of water is called brackish.
Where is Trott's Pond?
You can find Trott's Pond in an area of Bermuda called Hamilton Parish. It sits to the east of Harrington Sound and is about 800 metres (which is half a mile) northeast of another, bigger lake called Mangrove Lake.
Why is the Water Brackish?
Many lakes in Bermuda, including Trott's Pond, have brackish water. This happens because they are very close to the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean's salty water can mix with fresh water from rain or underground sources, creating this special kind of water. This mix makes a unique home for certain plants and animals that can live in both fresh and salty conditions.
