…Once work on the spillway is complete, not only will Barr Lake and Gibson Pond return to their previous water levels, but Old Mill Pond will soon be full again for the first time in nearly a decade, the town said in a news release.

Lexington is also in the process of completing a paved one-mile walking trail around the pond, which the town said should be ready to open to the public once Old Mill Pond is full again. The trail should open in the spring of 2024.
