St. Croix's many saltponds are rich in migratory birdlife. The magroves surrounding the ponds are critical nursery habitat for juvenile fish. Kayakers find smooth paddling when the ponds are full, and fisherman can be seen harvesting crabs from the mudflats. Following the Heritage Trail, you will see Great Pond (pictured) on the south shore and Southgate Pond out east. Elsewhere you will find West End Salt Pond near Sandy Point; Billy French's Pond near the oil refinery; and Altona Lagoon near Gallows Bay, Christiansted.
