A ride is is not a problem, let's us talk and maybe make a pit stop for a drink etc. Fishing will may only be 30 minutes at his age so to make a trip of it isn't a big deal and really will be part of the whole thing.
I would guess that pretty much every pond will have either or both.
They are part of the food chain of the larger predators.
One other thing to consider is access to the ponds.
One of my preferences when I took my neices and nephews fishing the first few times was to find a section of shoreline with plenty of casting room and clear water so that the kids could actually see the fish eating their bait. Trust me, it will definitely peak his interest when he can see the fishies!

Sounds Good.....if you are looking for a place to take the family and don't mind a drive, you can try Camp Denison in Georgetown.....they also have a couple of Nature paths you can go for a walk around.
