Paradise Pond Spillway
OnlineA tranquil mill pond framed by dense New England woodland, where the Mill River tumbles over a stone spillway before continuing its course. The calm, glassy surface upstream contrasts with the rippling shallows below the dam, while the brick silhouette of the college campus rises beyond the treeline.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Historic Mill Pond
Paradise Pond was formed by damming the Mill River, creating a picturesque body of water that has bordered the Smith College campus for generations. The stone spillway regulates the pond's level, sending the river tumbling into a rocky, shaded channel downstream.
Campus Backdrop
Beyond the pond's far shore, the brick buildings of the college campus rise among mature trees, giving the view a distinctly academic New England character.
A Haven for Recreation
The pond is a favored spot for canoeing and kayaking, its still waters offering a peaceful contrast to the tumbling current at the dam.
