Beaver Pond

[Judi]

Our 3 year old granddaughter Violet will be visiting from California in a few weeks and has requested that she go see a beaver in a beaver pond. Does anyone know of an active beaver pond locally around Fairfax. I bet you don't get this request often, LOL.

not sure if it still active, but there were a few on Woods hollow rd.   about 1-2 miles in there's marshy area and some water.  there use to be one there but the folks living there have banished the beavers and undermined their damm building for obvious reasons ( road travel).  BUT, as you pass that area and head towards essex - i think the beavers moved to further down that Marshy area, One could see it in the distance at one point.  I haven't noticed it since i've been traveling that road again.

Thank you, I will check it out.

A couple of years ago they were active right across from Fletcher School towards the store.

yeah in that little gully - they flooded the whole area..... methinks the close proximity to the road eventually flushed them out

There was one on Cambridge Road in Westford.  If you are traveling from the Westford Common it's on the left about half a mile past Covey Road.  Very easy to see from the road.

The pond on the corner of Mead and Buckhollow Rd has beavers in it as well as a family of ducks.  There is also a family of beavers on Nichols Road heading north it is on the left just 1/4 from King Rd.

Thank you all very much, these are very helpful. The one on Mead road with ducks and beavers sounds great.
