Hiking
Halfway Pond is not only a picturesque New England freshwater pond, but it also provides habitat for the federally endangered northern red-bellied cooter, a rare freshwater turtle species. Because the water is so clean, six mussel species live in Halfway Pond, two of which are quite rare. Additionally, the shores of the pond offer excellent opportunities for spotting bald eagles. You can enjoy many different seasonal activities such as canoeing and kayaking in the summer, hiking in the fall, snowshoeing in the winter, or searching for wildflowers in the spring.
