Brickyard Cove Pond is a small lake in Richmond, California. It was formed from quarrying of Nicholl's Knob the surrounding hill. It is fed by underground springs. Before the early 19th Century it was a swimming pond for local boys who often went skinny dipping at the lake. However this ceased when local cattle ranchers began dumping manure in the pond. [1]
