A secluded passage through mixed forest, this 2.4-kilometer trail within the network draws hikers toward the quiet shores of Ross Pond. The path is reported to maintain gentle grades throughout, making it accessible to those seeking a shorter woodland walk without significant elevation gain. At trail's end, the pond itself—often still and reflective in morning light—offers a contemplative destination, its banks typically quiet enough to observe waterfowl and the occasional beaver sign along the marshy margins.
Ross Pond Trail runs 1.5 miles (2.4 km) with about 296 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 55 minutes on the trail.
