Castalia Pond is also written up on The Ohio Ornithological Society's website. The direct link is
http://www.ohiobirds.org/site/library/sites/showsite.php?Site_ID=32
In case it doesn't work, you can find it from the society's homepage by using the "Where to Watch Birds..." link on the right.
The description of the pond has a seasonal guide. The description refers to the pond as a "blue hole", but this is not the blue hole of the fish hatchery. They are different places.

Subject: Re: [Ohio-birds] Castalia
There is a small pond in the town of Castalia that stays warm all year
round and is a great place to see waterfowl - especially in the winter. It
is at the edge of town and surrounded by houses so I'm not sure what type
of bird life - outside of waterfowl - you would see there at this time of
year. It's definitely worth a few visits during the cooler months.
The former Blue Hole is now the Castalia State Fish Hatchery and is open 8
am - 3 pm during the week. It is on the list of eBird Hot Spots for Ohio.
Here's a link for more information from eBird.
