The pond, which is the central feature of Day Pond State Park, was originally constructed by a pioneering family by the name of Day. The water from the pond turned a large overshot waterwheel which powered the "up and down saw" of the family sawmill. Today's park visitors will find only stone foundations as reminders of those colonial times. Day Pond is an attractive area for fishermen since the pond is stocked with trout.
