Ell Pond in Rhode Island.
Ell Pond is a
kettle hole in
Washington County, Rhode Island. It is surrounded by a swamp of
red maple and
Atlantic white cypress, and by steep granitic
monadnocks. The small area contains communities of both
hydric and
xeric plants, which makes it ideal for ecological research and education. It has been registered as a
National Natural Landmark since
1974.
