Description
The Pelton Pond area is a popular location for families to picnic. There is a trail that circles the pond and is easy to follow, though it is rocky in many spots. The short trail does offer great views of the pond from either the west or east. The trail also gives access to the Roaring Brook Trail on the far side of the pond. The trail in total is just less than a mile, but overall it's a nice trip, especially in autumn.
