Salt Pond is located within the 35-acre Salt Pond Area Bird Sanctuary. This particular spot is a great lookout over Salt Pond accessed via a short spur trail off the Swan Trail. From this viewing point, you have the opportunity to see many different types of birds, including swans, geese, and ducks, gulls and herons, and, of course, the iconic osprey!
