Mahoney Pond, also known as Stratton Snowmaking Pond, is a private water resource located in Winhall, Vermont. Owned by a private entity, this recreational pond is regulated by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and is classified as a high hazard potential structure. The dam, completed in 1997 by TECHNICON, is an earth-type structure with a height of 89 feet and a length of 2600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 499 acre-feet.

Situated along the Winhall River, Mahoney Pond covers a surface area of 15 acres and serves as a popular spot for recreational activities. Despite its primary purpose for recreation, the pond's dam poses a potential risk due to its high hazard classification. Regular inspections, last conducted in June 2017, ensure the structure's satisfactory condition and adherence to safety guidelines. With its picturesque location and important role in the local ecosystem, Mahoney Pond stands as a vital water resource for the community while highlighting the importance of proper management and maintenance in the face of climate change challenges.
