Munson Pond is a tranquil little gem in Kelowna and a favourite place for photographers to snap shots of flora and fauna.

The aptly named pond in Munson Pond Park is roughly four hectares in size and surrounded by cottonwood trees.

Located in the South Pandosy/KLO area near the intersection of Benvoulin and KLO roads, the park is alive with a broad range of birds, waterfowl, amphibians, reptiles and mammals.

The pond is named for the Munson family who were farmers in the area from the early 1890s, according to the City of Kelowna website. It's red listed as an endangered ecosystem and ranked one of the rarest of its kind in the province by the BC Conservation Data Centre.

This winter area photographers took some photos of the landscape and wildlife at the park.
