Hiking Crowfoot Pond
The trail is relatively flat with a slight gain in elevation that is spread out over a long distance.
This old forest road turned foot trail climbs through a dark evergreen forest as it passes over the low shoulder of Stiles Hill, which is on the left. The trail reaches the pond and passes left of it. The trail eventually ends at private property on the north shore of Crowfoot Pond. Please respect the rights of private landowners and do not proceed farther.
Crowfoot Pond in the winter
This trail is accessible in the winter, and could make for a great cross-country ski. Make sure to be prepared for all winter conditions.
