Floodwood Pond Trail

Stretching nearly four kilometers through mixed hardwood and conifer forest, this trail offers a quiet approach to Floodwood Pond, where the woodland path gives way to open water and shoreline. The pond itself is known for its calm surface and is reported to provide fishing opportunities under current NYSDEC regulations. The route, neither steep nor technical, rewards the walk with a sense of removal from more heavily traveled corners of the park.

§ Overview

Floodwood Pond Trail runs 2.4 miles (3.9 km) with about 218 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, nearly level throughout, about 1 h 15 min on the trail.
