Clay Pond is an important part of the wetlands here in Ocmulgee Mounds, and has abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, including birding. You may see egrets, osprey, herrings, and anhinga just to name a few. During the summer months you might also be able to see turtles or even an alligator sunning on one of the logs in the pond. Clay Pond is visible from the Opelofa Trail, the park road, and the Great Temple Mound.
