Fidler Pond Park, Goshen Live Cam

Fidler Pond Park in Goshen, Indiana, is seen here across its wide pond from a mown lawn beside the gravel walking trail. Overhanging branches frame the top of the picture, and a young tree stands alone on the grass near the water.

Fidler Pond is a former quarry on the east side of Goshen, now the centre of a city park of about 100 acres. A crushed-stone trail of roughly one and a half miles circles the water and is used by walkers, runners and cyclists. The park also offers boat rentals and catch-and-release fishing from the bank. The Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds lie just north.

The view stays on one direction: open water in the middle, a line of trees along the far shore and the trail curving across the lower left corner. On calm days the trees are mirrored on the surface, and the foliage shows the seasons, from summer green to autumn yellow.
