Myles Standish State Forest, Plymouth
Canoe launch area at East Head Reservoir, a closer view of the pond bottom. Notice tiny white flowers on the water surface. Chances are no one emptied a fish tank here, in the heart of Myles Standish Forest. Most probably, Carolina fanwort was brought here on a canoe bottom from another pond. Chunks of this plant have ability to root. Plymouth ponds right outside Myles Standish are known to be infested (see photos from Cooks Pond, Plymouth).
