Hiking to Rock Pond
The trailhead is simply marked with a small sign; a pull-off for 3-4 vehicles is the best indication of the trailhead.
The trail starts along through an open forest before entering an attractive area of hemlocks. There is a small rise in the beginning before you start to descend to the shore of Rock Pond. The shore is boulder strewn making for some excellent viewing areas. Wide open areas beneath the tall stands of trees offers excellent spots for having a lunch, if the weather agrees. The Seward Range can be seen towering to the back of the pond.
Rock Pond in the winter
During the winter the road is usually closed past the trailhead for Raquette Falls. In many instances it is not and can be driven to this trailhead. If the gate is closed or road is impassable, it adds 1.2 miles round trip. This trail is doable on both skis and snowshoes. Be wary of stepping out on ice in the winter.
