Central Park's Secret Stream
Montanye’s Rivulet - Central Park's only natural watercourses
During the development of Central Park the entire area was hilly, rocky and swampy, and most of the body waters are fed by City drinking waters, except the pool, a small body of water near the Great Hill.
Montanye's Rivulet stream feeds the Pool and it is the only natural spring water. The stream was enlarged to the Loch, and Harlem Meer.
The Pool
The Pool is a little-known area tucked away in the upper park area, near the North woods the wildish part of the park.
This small lake is very picturesque and is the only remaining area of Weeping Willows trees, and it has a colorful Autumn foilage
