Joe's Pond is a small body of water in Vermont. The Pond's location is about 13 miles west of St Johnsbury, and 25 miles east of Montpelier,
and we have two main roads in the area. One is Route 2, coming west from interstates 91 and 93 in St Johnsbury or coming east from
interstate 89 in Montpelier. Our other main road is Route 15 coming southeast from Burlington/Stowe/Morrisville/Hardwick. The maximum
depth of the pond is over 100 feet, and the altitude here is about 1500 feet above sea level.
We co-exist with moose, bear and deer, and smaller creatures, including loons, which usually raise a family on the
pond.
Joe's Pond covers 396 acres. It is approximately 3 miles in length and consists of three sections, the largest
body of water is at the north end, shared by the towns of Cabot on the western shore and Danville on the eastern
and southern shores; the middle and smallest ponds are within the Town of Danville. The outlet of the pond is at
the dam in West Danville, where it feeds into Joe's Brook and a power plant owned by Green Mountain Power Corporation.
Joe's Brook flows southeast to the Passumpsic River, which in turn empties into the Connecticut River.
You are at the unofficial website of the Joe's Pond Association. JPA has existed since the early 1900's, and our founders wrote that
our main purpose is the betterment of our environment. Today JPA's activities include monitoring for invasive species
and preventing soil runoff from filling the pond. JPA also holds many social events in the summer.
This website is for the convenience of the Joe's Pond Association and the communities of Cabot, Danville, and Walden.
Our aim is to provide easy access to information about our immediate area and the region where we live. We try to
present information to appeal to a variety of internet users such as potential renters or property seekers, historians,
and vacationers. We also provide a space for local business people to showcase their products and services.
Our Events page includes not only the activities of the Joe's Pond Association, but also community activities.
Not all the "local color" is in our autumn trees - you'll find a good deal of that in the "Local News Blog"
where news items, photos and comments by local residents are posted on a daily basis, making it the most active page on the site.
Before you leave the site, be sure to visit the Ice-Out Contest Page.
The Joe's Pond Iceout Contest is an exciting (?) fund raising event you won't want to miss.
