I would not swim in the pond but the lake is very clear water might be a little cold
Concur with Mr.Duncan as to pond. Town of Clayton is about 2.5 miles from Campground. It's a cute town with very friendly and helpful people. And local history.
I'm not sure how dirty that pond is sometimes they will set up a pond like that as a sump to naturally filter the water before it gets back into the water table. Bad part is the crud being filtered out of the water is left in the sump or pond. There is the Clayton lake not far from you and unless there recently was a major storm that water is very clean. Even has fishing there. I'm not from Clayton but my wife works at the hospital hope my information is accurate and helpful for you. If you cant find anybody at the RV park to help you or answer your questions right by the tracks I believe its 1st street near the little coffee shop is a old family run hardware store. Awesome people in there and very helpful I'm sure lots of town history. If anybody knows about that pond I'm sure they will. And if you need anything while your there I'm sure they will appreciate your business. BTW there is supposed to be petrified dinosaur tracks as well as petrified wagon trail tracks
