Gardy's Millpond is a 75acres reservoir located in a tranquil setting along the Westmoreland and Northumberland county line in Northeast Virginia.[1]

The millpond is relatively shallow with an average depth of about 40NaN0. The upstream portion of the impoundment is swampy and the shoreline is largely forested. Scenic and decorated with lily pads, Gardy's Millpond is a quiet spot to fish for black crappie, bluegill and redear sunfish, bream, chain pickerel, largemouth bass and yellow perch.

A new dam was built here soon after Hurricane Bob caused severe damage to the older structure in 1985. The place was subsequently stocked with fish and re-opened to public fishing in 1990.[2]
