2.5 miles North of Hoffman's Road, following the Hoffmans Notch Trail aka Big Pond Trail there is a designated campsite located a spur of the trail going down to the lake.

Access to Horseshoe and Bullet Pond is via Horseshoe Pond Road which runs parallel to and intersects Hoffman Notch Road in Schroon. Bullet Pond is only accessible by a bushwhack through wilderness, it's the more developed pond, while Horseshoe Pond is much closer to the road and much more wild.
