Nbiish Pond - Nbiish, meaning water in the Ojibwe dialect of the Algonquin langauge, is the largest of Odeno's maintained ponds. Four major walking paths meet here, a reflective meeting place for community members within Phase 1. Nbiish pond has 3 smaller overflow basins that help mitigate stormwater runoff into Stevens Creek.
Ziibi Pond - Somewhat of a misnomer, Ziibi Pond is named after the Objiwe word for 'river' and is the 2nd largest pond in Odeno. There are two smaller overflow basins attached to Ziibi Pond that that help mitigate stormwater runoff into Stevens Creek.
Pond - Pond is the 3rd and final maintained pond in Odeno. It is the smallest of the ponds and only has 1 additional overflow basin to help mitigate stormwater runoff into Stevens Creek.
