Always a pretty destination, Penfield Pond is well worth the hike. 

How to get there

The trailhead is on Old Ironville Road, 0.2 mile east of Penfield Museum. From the intersection of Routes 9N, 74, and 22 in Ticonderoga, follow 74 west for 5.5 miles. Turn right onto Corduroy Road and follow for 3.3 miles. Turn left onto Whitehead Road and your destination will be on your left.

Hiking

The 1-mile, easy loop trail crosses a creek at first and then follows a trail into the woods. It soon climbs a hill above a brook and travels along the east shore of Penfield Pond.
