Broaddus Pond: Private or Public

There is a pond in Bowling Green, VA named Broaddus Pond and i cant figure out if it is private or public. It is located on the backside of a graveyard and has a boat ramp and there arent any "No Trespassing", "Private Property" or "No Fishing" signs, but i hardly see anyone fishing there. There are some decent sized blue gill from what i saw by the boat ramp and i could see lily pads moving without the wind blowing and fish jumping quite often. Groundskeepers dont seem to mind you being there, but the one time i did see someone fishing there, they said it was private. I wasnt sure if he was trying to guard his honey hole or if he was serious about it being private. I'm really curious because i am looking for new places to fish within a half an hour from my house and this place looks perfect. Any information would help.
