Mallet Pond Dam

The earthen dam that makes up Mallet Pond is about 30 feet high. You wouldn't know it unless you look at it from a top the dam.

Cattle Skull

This cattle skull was hung up at the campsite on a tree. Cool! It appears to be from a dehorned cow, and the lower jaw is missing. I'm guessing it was brought on up by a SUNY Cobelskill Ag Student.

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.
