I was out for a walk at Mooney's Pond recently and was very impressed with the new trails and boardwalks installed around the Pond. It is too bad that money cannot be found to use Mooney's Pond for it's original intension, fish rearing...

Mooney's pond, along with maybe 1 or two other places, were the principal places for fish rearing. Trout and espically salmon were brought to the pond as small fry and were raised there to a sufficient size to be released back into PEI rivers and streams.

Anyway, if you take a trip out to Mooney's Pond, i am sure you will be impressed with the trails...

Improvements have been made to the trails and look-out platforms surrounding Mooney’s Pond and the Jim Anderson Angling Pool on the Morell River.

“Our government invested $44,720 to allow better access to Mooney’s Pond and the Jim Anderson Angling Pool by creating new pathways and upgrading existing trails,” said P.E.I. Senator Mike Duffy.

“This investment helps make the Mooney’s Pond and Jim Anderson Angling Pool areas accessible to more Islanders and visitors than ever,” said provincial Innovation and Advanced Learning Minister Allan Campbell.
