Expo Pond is the pond at the Jackson County Fairgrounds located directly adjacent to the access road at Gate 5, at the Southern Oregon RV Park.

Expo and nearby ponds are producing good catches of bass and panfish. Unfortunately catches of large carp are also being reported, mostly taken on corn. Carp are an introduced fish that can harm water quality/clarity and productivity of waterbodies, so anglers are encouraged to harvest and remove any carp from Expo Pond.

Some summertime catches of rainbow trout have been reported this year. Expo is stocked with trout early in the year before hot weather begins. The pond could be worth a try for trout for anglers looking for a quick trip

Please remember to park in the day-use parking area and walk into the RV park to access the pond. Do not park your vehicle within the RV park. A Jackson County parks day-use or season-long parking pass is required.

There are Chinese mystery snails in the most northern pond. They are highly invasive and were illegally dumped here. Please do not move these creatures and drain and dry any personal watercraft before using them in another waterbody.
