Hiked into one of my favorite ponds, John Pond, near Indian Lake, NY

Trail started out a bit wet, poor drainage combined with recent rains. Mostly hemlocks with some beech trees in the understory.

Trail dried out a bit after a short while

An open marshy area along the way, some beaver activity creating some ponding

A little bit of color in the understory

weather was a mix of sun and clouds, pretty warm for late October, nearly 70 degrees. Humid too. 5 miles round trip. Not another person on the trail.
 
Soo pretty. Love the photo of the pond. Did you see any beavers?!
