Park off of the triangle at Moria Road, off of US 9 a little ways north of North Hudson, hike back roughly 2 miles to a designated campsite on Bass Lake. Another half mile beyond there is Berrymill Flow, a formerly dammed up secton of the Berry Mill Brook.
From the Hammond Pond Parking Area on Moriah Road (4 miles east of US 9), head south on the Berrymill Flow Trail. The flow is roughly 1 1/2 miles south of the parking area, with only a very slight incline. Head south-east on the Mouse Mountain Pond Trail another 1 1/2 miles to reach the lake which contains a lean-to on the north shore. Slight incline, gaining 200 feet before dropping over a ridge to the pond.

The one mile Hammond Pond Trail is a nice leg-strecher with minimal incline from the Hammond Pond parking area on Moriah Road.
