Water came from the Neches River the same river that currently provides water for the Bolivar Peninsula. On the levy on the northwest side of the pond are old cement pipes that were part of the system that pumped water into the pond.
The “dock” that is on the east side of the pond held the pumps to pump water to the sulfur plant. Claybottom Pond was dug to increase the water supply available to the town and to provide water for the sulfur plant that was east of the pond. Smith Pond was dug to hold the water supply for the High Island community. A day pass costs $10, or for $30 a patch may be purchased which gives you an unlimited number of admissions to all High Island sanctuaries for one year. The fee helps defray the costs of maintenance, utilities and improvements for the entire Houston Audubon sanctuary system. The High Island sanctuaries are fee sites. The sanctuary is open to the public sunrise to sunset year round. The remaining 110 acres were donated to Houston Audubon by Amoco Production Company. The Rookery in the middle of Claybottom Pond has become a favored roosting and nesting place for thousands of waterbirds. Sixty-four acres were purchased by Houston Audubon with the help of Houston Audubon members, friends, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Smith Oaks Bird Sanctuary is 177 acres of fields, woods, wetlands and ponds.
