Melwood Pond is small, barely over 1 acre. Fish early in the season since the entire pond becomes clogged with underwater vegetation as the weather warms. It is the centerpiece of the Melwood Pond Community P ark with a small parking area adjacent to Woodyard road at the southern end of the lake. As part of an improved Park, the banks are manicured and offer universal, easy access with benches spaced periodically for those who enjoy throwing a bobber in and waiting for a bite.
The pond is shallow with no steep drop-offs from the bank. That said, the northern end is where the water is deepest adjacent to the outflow that feeds a tiny creek.
Directions:
From I-495, take exit 11 onto MD 4 S/Pennsylvania Avenue. Exit MD 4 onto MD 223/Woodyard Road. Follow Woodyard Road south. Melwood Pond is adjacent to the road.
