Then the trail appears to pass onto private property.įrom the gate, you could also walk south, following the pond edge, on a rough track to meet the ITS-85 snowmobile trail. As for walking trails, you can walk north a short distance, 1,200 feet or so, to reach really impressive beaver ponds. If you make it to the pond, you can park in front of the gate at a clearing big enough for several cars. On the other side of Spectacle Pond, coming from Church Hill Road, you can drive all the way to the pond on a dirt road that is most appropriate for high-clearance vehicles. The paths are unmarked but easy to follow, although they do include some steep sections down to the pond. A snowmobile track will continue on straight, past a huge, old tree, and eventually swoop around to form a 1.6-mile loop. In about 200 or so feet, you’ll see a footpath on your left that you can follow for the most direct access to the pond. If you’re starting from Cross Hill Road, you’ll begin on a marked snowmobile track. Or you can keep going another 0.3 miles to or so to where the path has been flooded, seemingly permanently, so you can’t cross over to the other side unless you are willing to swim. From Church Hill Road, on the west side, you can drive to the pond if you have a high-clearance vehicle.įrom Cross Hill Road, you can hike 0.7 miles to the edge of the pond, where there is a small clearing with a fire pit. Access is from either the east or west, from Cross Hill Road or Church Hill Road. Spectacle Pond is a quiet, undeveloped pond with several good swimming spots. ![]() Sights: Spectacle Pond, Tolman Pond, beaver ponds.
