Mallet Pond State Forest

Mallet Pond State Forest is 2,567 acres of state land north of Burnt Rossman State Forest, outside of Fultonham. There are several informal campsites along the lakes that are popular during the summer months. Mallet Pond is most commonly fished for its trout. Special regulations apply. Some decent sized trout have been taken from this small pond. The pond is stocked annually with approximately 250 brown trout and 250 rainbow trout from 8-10″ in length. Parking area at gated road off Rosseman Fly Road. Roughly a 0.3 mile walk from parking area to pond.

Teeth

Well I guess the cattle skull has a few of it's teeth left chewing away at the tree.

Rossman Fly Road

This is near the unmarked turn off to Rossman Pond. You would not know that it even existed or took you there, without a map and just driving back the 1/4 mile to the pond.

Campsite at Rossman Pond

This is one of the many informal campsites in the area. None of them have designated markers, and don't comply with state set backs, but as witnessed by the wear and tear on the grass, and mention in the Unit Management Plan, they are well used and recognized as such.
