Comments: Hidden Valley Pond is one of the newest in the FiN program. It has been stocked with bluegill and black crappie and produces nice-sized fish from time to time. The City of Cottage Grove sponsors a popular fishing clinic each year in June. In 2012 the fishing pier was removed for modifications.
