Winding through mixed forest for just under three kilometers, this trail leads to a small, secluded pond that offers quiet refuge from the more traveled routes of the region. The path is reported to be relatively gentle, making it accessible to hikers seeking a shorter woodland walk, and the pond itself often holds brook trout, though current NYSDEC regulations apply. At trail's end, the water's edge provides a place for rest and observation, with opportunities to spot waterfowl and the occasional beaver sign along the marshy margins.
