 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The Boardwalk through the White Cedar bog on the NW shore had two short patches with a couple of inches of water over it, then a long stretch, a little before halfway, that turned me back. With colder weather, I imagine that would be frozen and passible. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
My circuit of the Pond combined trails and dirt roads. Many stretches of bare dirt but the majority had a light coating of frozen granular. |

Lots of dogwalkers on these trails. |

 | Comments: |
The White Cedar bog/swamp was the most interesting part, so I hope to return sometime when the long Boardwalk can be followed to its end. |
