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.

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.

Night is Creeping Up on Me

I didn't realize how quickly it got late at Big Pond, and I had even started dinner. To make matters worst, my white-gas lantern wouldn't start, so I had to do everything by flash light.
