I think it's so strange that they singled out that pond in particular. One, even though it's right off 258, is in a fenced area on a private lot. Two, just a mile down the Joyner's Bridge Rd to the east (611), there is a boat ramp right at the Blackwater River. Now that place, I would consider a place of interest.
I lived out there a few years back and traveled up and down that road quite a bit. It's used often by people for fishing (cough) and as a general hang out spot. And it's not that far from the pond.
