 The Runaway Pond is a simple and straightforward example of a disaster to the natural environment inadvertently caused by human activity.The results of the flood can still be seen today at Clark Pond which is just north of the Runaway Pond site, and elsewhere in the Barton River valley.Chamberlain's act is commemorated each year on Glover Day (the last Saturday of July) by a road race following the path of the flood.
