Big Pond

At 50‐acre Big Pond, non‐motorized boats can be launched from the small parking lot. Several unmarked trails andmeadows connect a larger parking lot a few hundred feet to the south oft he lake. Big Pond is about one‐half mile north of the entrance road to Little Pond Campground on Barkaboom Road.

Light Hits Bank

The first rays hit the western bank of the lake, providing some of the greens of the day once again.

Tent

Yes, occasionally I will sleep in a tent. This actually is the second time I've slept in a tent this year. One other time I slept in a lean-to and the rest has been truck camping.

Pond Prior to Sunrise

The fog rises above the pond. It looks perfect for taking photos, so I decide to hop in the kayak, and go for a paddle.

Paddling

The mountain in the background is Barkaboom Mountain. The place I camped was on the shore a little ways from here.

Big Pond from Parking Area

It certainly was quite pretty out there, and a great unguarded swimming beach that was packed with people.
