Runaway Pond is a marsh at the former site of Long Pond in Glover. The name arose from an environmental disaster in 1810, when a manual attempt to divert some of the water of Long Pond broke the bank, causing the entire lake to suddenly empty out into the Barton River, uncontrolled.
The site is located 5 miles south of Glover on Dry Pond Road (VT-16) where there is a pull-off and picnic area.
