Bombo's Pond                   
Bombo's Pond could have been called 'Hidden Pond' because you can drive right by it and miss it. It originally was a quarry for the Nye County Road Department. At some point they hit a spring and the quarry filled with water. At least that's what Bombo himself told me. Often when you go there you'll have it all to yourself. Walk your dogs, feed the ducks or just relax. There is supposed to be bass in the pond if you care to try your luck. I've been told the state is considering stocking the pond with trout and crappie. This is a nice, clean, quiet place and we need to keep it that way. Feel free to use the trash dumpster provided. And it never hurts to pick up a little trash too. Even if it's not yours. There are no regulations posted here and hopefully will stay that way. Please enjoy yourself and leave it as you found it. To find the pond head South from Beatty on US 95 about 1 to 2 miles. Turn right (West) on Vanderbilt Road. As soon as you make the turn you will see the pond on the right. The ruins of an old mill are on the hillside. Plans are being discussed to make this into a park with some facilities. At any rate it is an interesting place to explore. Enjoy!
