Warwick Pond is an 85 acre pond in the middle of Warwick, just east of the airport. Buckeye Brook flows out of the southwest corner of the pond and is large enough to paddle for some distance. The shoreline of the pond is largely developed. The brook feels less developed because of the wetlands that provide a buffer between the brook and the adjacent residential neighborhoods. The brook is very slow moving in this area so once you have gone as far as you want to you can reverse direction and come back upstream to the pond. Nearest Town Center: Hoxsie. Buckeye Brook is not dammed and provides important habitat for alewives and blueback herring, which travel up the brook into Warwick Pond to spawn.

Non-native Species: Eurasian Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum Spicatum), Fanwort (Cabomba Caroliniana)
