Description

If you start the trail at the first parking area you will cross a bridge to the other parking area at Anderson's Pond. The trail starts at a fishing shelter on the stream. A wheelchair accessable boardwalk goes along the stream from the shelter to the parking area at the Watershed Cooperative.

Mooneys Pond Lookout

In front of the Watershed Cooperative the trail crosses a dam and then enters the woods. The trail crosses a bridge and then travels through the woods along the pond. It passes several benches and a lookout platform overlooking the pond.

Near the back of the pond there is a long bridge that crosses the pond. Returning on the other side you will cross a bridge and several more lookout platforms.
