Activity: Kayaking Salem Ponds - perfect little pond to play around in for hours. Great beach and lawn with trees for picnicing. Best put in is just on the south or middle east side just north of the pavilion where there is a sandy beach. You can really put in anywhere and people do. North side is private property though. We have tried putting in on the south east end but there is a concrete drop and it gets like a cesspool but it is more private and there is grass and shade. There is generally shade and grass most edges of the pond. Playground. There is a bridge people like to jump off but it's a Class C misdimeanor FYI.
