April 1, 2021Beautiful trail, even in the light snow. There was a tree down around .5 mi in, and the snow/rocks were too slippery to cross the river and continue on the trail at around 1 mi in so we turned back. Would love to revisit this one in the warmer months!
November 26, 2020Perfect for all levels of hikers!
November 15, 2020it had a little bit of everything!! loved it !!
November 14, 2020November 1, 2020Rocky and muddy. Today was over cast and brisk. But a nice quick Easy hike
October 20, 2020September 26, 2020Nice way up to Long Rock Pond.
September 21, 2020Gorgeous sunny day in the forest! The trail is 90% rocks and boulders so definitely need sturdy shoes, sturdy ankles, hiking poles or a great sense of balance. The trail around the pond is the most challenging part of the hike so if you want a scenic lake view, maybe skip it and sit lakeside instead!
September 19, 2020Great hike. Very easy.
August 27, 2020We did this trail yesterday and it is a fairly easy hike up-despite the trail being quite rocky. The pond is beautiful and the loop around was the best part, so make sure to do this-this is where you get any views. There were no views on the way up, but often a little creek as we walked up. We were the only ones on the trail going up around 10:45 am, but on the way down, we passed about 5 groups of people. There are a few trails that continue up to other spots from the pond, but don’t know how nice they are. The entire trail with the pond loop registered 5.3 miles on my phone, so it is longer than 4.8-but not by much. My app is accurate as I use it on all my hikes.
August 23, 2020Beautiful hike that winds up the river to the Pond. Can be very crowded on warm days. At some parts of the pond, people were not socially distancing and many families had their dogs off leash. Hopefully the state wont close the trail due to these irresponsible people.
August 21, 2020This is a beautiful hike and it is very easy. At the end the is a cliff to jump off of.
August 9, 2020What is this? My daughter and I went to the trail today. Everything was good before I found this. I found it on my daughter‘s feet after she played in the water. This thing was red because it sucked blood. Any one knows what it is? See a picture in photos of the trail.
August 7, 2020I recommend going this way, not the opposite direction so you can go down the rock scrambles from Green Mountain peak to the pond.
August 2, 2020I would say this is a super easy trail. We hiked 2 miles in and then went to the left- around the pond and then setup our camp. Gorgeous pond, super clear and warm water!! Great place to camp, no bear box however.
July 23, 2020Beautiful trail with a gorgeous pond at the end. Easy in terms of exertion and incline. Very rocky and a bit muddy, but the views on the trail and at the pond made it all worth it. Our dog loved it, as well.

July 18, 2020Good hike overall. I would consider this an easy hike from an exertion perspective. Rocky much of the way though.
July 17, 2020Nice, easier walk. tougher part is around the pond but its worth it. took just under 3 hours.
July 2, 2020Nice hike up to the pond! The walk around the pond is definitely a HIKE up and down. If you walk to the right when you get to the pond there’s good spots to sit. Definitely swim it’s beautiful. There were horse flies and bees around the pond though, so just be careful!
May 28, 2020Dogs Loved following the river up to the pond.
May 25, 2020Highly recommend this trail. Beautiful views of surrounding mountains and Little Rock pond.
