Camping at Duck Pond

On the maps of Burnt Rossman, and in the plan for this area, there is a primative campsite. While unmarked there, there are two developed campsites along the pond with stone-built campfire places, and some places where horses have been staked down in the past.

Duck pond which is mostly a swamp, is quite pretty in the evening. The bugs really weren’t that bad.

Cleaning up after dinner in the evening.

The wildflowers where in full bloom in late June when I was camping out there.

Near the campsite is a monument commemerating Charles Hopkins, the first Forest Ranger who maintained these 13,000 acres of state land.

In the morning, I drove south toward Blenhium on the rather rough part of the Duck Pond Truck Trail, which becomes much rougher after Duck Pond.

While I camped out there all night, I only saw one car in the morning driving by.
