    Several views of the Community Pool from the 1980's and in 2018, with a map of the Lower Dennys River reproduced from "Salmon on the Dennys, 1786-1988", by Ed Bartlett and Ray Robinson.

    The Community Pool received its name as a place where fishermen have gathered over the years to take turns fishing their way through the pool, at one time home to the famous "Liar's Bench."
