Seven modest ponds dot the landscape, including the following: Kelly Pond (64 acres, 35 feet deep) is a short distance to the east of the southern tip of Caribou Lake. Logging operations have improved access to the area. Grassy Pond is a 54 acre, 8 feet deep, shallow trout pond that has become more accessible as a result of timber harvesting. Big Fisher Pond (56 acres, 10 feet deep) is accessed by a 1 1/2-mile gravel road that leads to the shore of the Pond from the Great Northern Paper Company road between Grant Farm and Ripogenus Dam.
