Southards Pond offers beautiful views of the pond, streams, and wildlife. You can enjoy the tranquility of nature while getting some exercise. The trail is mostly flat and well-marked, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost or climbing steep hills. The best times to visit this trail are April through September, when the weather is pleasant and the foliage is lush. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned runner, you will find this trail to be a rewarding and relaxing way to explore the park.

Hiking

Southards Pond is the main attraction with Southards Pond Park. The main trail basically walks up to the shore of the water on the west side of the reservoir and offers an immersion into nature without having to leave the city. This spot, on the south side of the pond, crosses the Carlls River on a bridge and looks out over the water.
