beautiful anytime of day. busy on the weekends but perfect for the early morning hike in the am. wearing swimsuit underneath and jump in the water, it's clear and easy to swim.
Nice early morning walk, only a few dog walkers early. On the way back out lots more Sunday walk and dog traffic.
Nice trail and beautiful view. Not that many people when I was there. Was able to have my dog off leash and towards the end of the trail is open water where they were able to swim in.
Muddy and not very scenic. The trail is primarily a snow mobile trail and is not very suitable for a walk with the dogs. A couple positives are we had the trail to ourselves and it was serene.
Make sure to walk.all the way past the pond. There is a really pretty waterfall to the left at the very end. You will end up With a total of just over 3.5 miles if you go to the end. Very relaxing and peaceful out here.
nice flat and wide trail.Ends up at a nice pond.good for a nice walk.Gets busy on a nice summer weekend.Good for kids in a stroller. I think it's way to short for a mountain bike.
Nice walk. Very flat, but very scenic. I went on a late Sunday afternoon and didn't see anyone the entire walk in. On the way out, I did encounter a lot of people given the late hour. There are a few benches and several informational plaques along the trail. It will probably be gorgeous in the fall with the changing leaves.
Amazing place
nice trail
A little flat and busy for us, but a really pretty pond abd an easy walk. Very accessible.
Very nice trail, wide. The end is sandy with some dunes. Ponds are pretty, had nice foliage. Flat trail. Easy. Took a few hours. Bring a headlamp at night, pitch black.
Very easy, flat trail (it's as wide as a road and all packed gravel). It's heavily walked so you I'll be saying hi to quite a few walkers.
The walk is best if you get off the main trail for the small side trails that bring you up to the pond. There is a tight path that brings you out to large rocks sitting in the pond, it's the perfect spot to sit and take in nature. My 6 month pregnant wife was able to do it with ease so it's not too bad.
Overall it was a little too groomed for us as we like trails in the woods, not gravel packed roads to walk on.
Great trail part of the access route to Tower Hill or Bear brook.
Easy start into rocking access of Chester Turnpike or an easier Railroad track into Dubes or Bear Brook
Liz H. on Heads Pond
Very nice flat trail
good easy trail for family
Mackensie P. on Heads Pond
A good flat walk with pretty marsh views, but pretty buggy. Well-maintained and very human-friendly; too much so for my taste.
People are pigs! So much litter on the trail and off! Humans ruin everything they touch. Put your dogs on a leash!
good place to fish,
Went back today and someone's car was broken into and purse stolen as well as some personal belongings. In daylight. Hm?? Kinda sketchy
Great trail and some nice scenic spots. Lots of bugs but not unbearable. Hundreds of tadpoles visible in a few deep puddles on the trail. TONS of broken glass at the end where the little beach area is. Had my dogs stay clear of the beautiful little area once I realized how much broken glass there was. Overall will go back because it's convenient but disappointed with the upkeep of the beach.
Nice easy walk and very peaceful and very clean. Trail is flat with no roots to trip over.
Easy flat walk. There is even a small place to drop a kayak into the pond. Will definitely return
Great flat trail to walk our small dogs! They loved being able to walk into the water along the way. Good mix of sun and shade.
Love this trail, plenty to explore!
It's a short trail that's fun for fishing. Many walkers and dogs.
This is a great walk year round. Very icy in winter. Make sure you wear cleats.
Wear neon orange during hunting season, October through December 15. Lots of people with guns.
Loaded with Ticks in spring, summer, and fall, if you go off main trails.
It's 1.5 miles from parking lot to pond. Walk past pond on your right, and go North toward Chester Turnpike in Allentown to see more wildlife.
It's tragic that this area is slated for major housing development. The clean water will soon be polluted and wildlife will disappear. :( Hope it never happens!!
Easy
Super easy walk. Good for dogs. Pretty pond at the end. Flat. Scenic with the gorgeous leaves last week.
Great walking trail. Plaques were very informational about the area. Nice flat trail. Little hill going in and coming out but not too too bad. Beautiful scenery.
