Trail Overview

Spectacle Pond can be accessed off Highway 9 and is mostly private property with lots of public trails. The main roads are wide and well-maintained gravel, but the smaller spur roads can become very narrow, only wide enough for 4 Wheelers. Be respectful of private property owners and stay on the trail.

These are mostly well maintained gravel roads, but some areas can become quite narrow. These areas are only accessible by small vehicles unless you don't mind pinstripes.

Easy Drive, mostly all well maintained gravel / dirt roads. Multiple off shoots leading to wind mills. Off shoots tend to be narrow so expect some new pinstripes

Open with wide gravel/stone roads. Not much to do other than look at the scenery. I did not run the shorter portion from Route 9 south to the loop point.

Spectacle Pond can be accessed by the following ride types:

  • High-Clearance 4x4
