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
the forest changed to white pines with some beech and birch mixed in
John Pond …
the lean to at the pond
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.
