Route Guidance
Trail Overview
West Pond is a short, low-commitment destination reached from the Orvis Road parking area off Big Moose Road. The hike follows the West Pond Trail corridor toward a small pond and West Pond Falls, making it more of a quick explore stop than a full-day outing. route consensus supports a short round trip with about 100 feet of gain, with optional wandering around the falls and pond outlet. The terrain is generally easy, but the route can involve junctions and unmarked tread near the falls-to-pond connection.
