Hiking
Dewey Pond is on the northern end of Quechee State Park and is a fantastic place to hike around and look for birds and other wildlife. Some notable local birds you might see are: yellow-rumped warblers, black- throated warbler Northern goshawks, bald and golden eagles, red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks, ospreys, blue jays, and mourning doves. Deweys Pond was named for A.G. Dewey, who owned a wool mill that operated in the area 1869 until the 1960s and used the water from this pond to operate. You can actually see the remains of the old mill on the main trail.
