About Mill Pond
Mill Pond is a quiet and intimate freshwater spot in Alachua County, Florida, offering a peaceful natural setting for those seeking a small lake experience. Covering 47 acres, this shallow body of water lies just outside the towns of Micanopy and McIntosh.

The lake is surrounded by a scenic landscape that includes nearby Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park and Silver Springs State Park, adding to the area's outdoor appeal. Mill Pond's modest size and flat waters make it a gentle retreat for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors without the bustle of larger lakes.
