This little path’s trailhead is a touch hard to find, partly because the trail sign is tucked away from the road and there is not much of a pullover for cars. Once you do find it, the trail may be a little overgrown? After a slight uphill, at roughly 0.3-mile, the path comes out on a gravel road. Go right on the road, and you’ll see a sign for the foot trail to your right (there is a private house beyond). In a few feet, you’ll come upon the little pond. There are no mountains to be seen here, but the pond is quiet and nice.
Directions: From Oquossoc, follow Route 17 south for about 13 miles (about 2 miles south of Height of Land scenic overlook). The trailhead is on the left, where there is a small parking area. If you reach Beaver Pond, you’ve gone too far. Turn around and the trailhead is roughly 0.7 miles on your right, slightly beyond a rough gravel road.
