Trails a bit overgrown currently in August. Some very pretty settings with enormous trees. Perhaps 100-200 years old. Worth an afternoon.

I don't get what people see in this place. It is just woods. With nothing to look at and billions of bugs flying in your ears, nose, eyes and mouth. Walked about two miles in and turned around. So many beautiful hiking trails in the area I don't know why anyone would choose this place. Also, BE AWARE: DO NOT follow the Google directions. It will take you to a dead end. Be sure to look up "Goosepond Mountain Parking" -- someone needs to fix this. Also: no trail markers and no cell signal, so be careful. Overall, a very poorly maintained nothingburger.

Nice little boardwalk, but in 20 min my husband and I got 6 ticks on us so be prepared. Edit: 7 ticks.

Questions & Answers

Are dogs allowed on trails in the park? Is there camping available or is this park just day use?

Yes, dogs on leash allowed. No camping, just hiking and biking.

Is hunting allowed?

I don't believe so. It's a state owned park and there are a lot of sections where houses are close by.

Are there bears, mt. lions, or coyotes?

It is free; a great way to contribute is to bring a garbage bag, & fill it during your hike.
