Stepping Stone is a lovely park to take a break off the bike. The park has water, restrooms and even public wifi to plan your next stop. The views out to the coast are fantastic too.

As you pass over the bridge you gain lovely views of both sides of Udalls Millpond. The pond widens as it comes around the bend and underneath the bridge, making it a sizeable pretty body of water.

You have St. John's Upper and Lower Ponds, but you can only cycle past Upper Pond. This is a nice cycle section too; you are right next to this tree-lined lake with great views. If you want to stop a while and maybe have a closer look, you can go onto the dam head, which is just off the road on the northern end.
