Hiking
This pond is part of the headwaters of the Saugatuck River, ultimately providing drinking water to lower Fairfield County. The trail circles the entire pond. We were there in August, and saw some swans! But also lots of mosquitoes. And there wasn't really any good spot to rest for a picnic either. The trail around the pond is very narrow and the vegetation is dense around the trail, at least in the summer.
