Nestled near Kenyasi-Truba in the Asutifi North District of Ghana’s Ahafo Region, Truba Pond is a former granite quarry transformed by nature into a tranquil aquatic retreat. Once an excavation site for granite, the abandoned quarry filled with rainwater and is now surrounded by lush greenery and steep rocky walls, offering a picturesque mirror of the sky.
Historically, the site’s geological context is part of the region’s granite-rich Birimian-Deformation belt, now in the vicinity of gold and mineral operations like the Newmont Ahafo mines. While Truba Pond lacks formal historical events tied to it, it has become regarded as a serene escape amid mining communities.
This hidden gem is ideal for photography, peaceful reflection, and light hiking. The calm waters reflect the verdant canopy, while nearby trails allow visitors to explore the surrounding woodland. Swimming is not advised due to unclear water conditions and safety concerns.
While the pond lacks official recognition or infrastructure, it illustrates how industrial sites can be reclaimed by nature and embraced by communities.
