What a nice lake Goose Pond is. Good hiking is available along the Mattatuck Trail, and some of the water close by flows, like East Branch Shepaug River. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is good on Shepaug River, and if you want to hit the beach, Morris Town Beach is around here. Everybody nearby loves skiing at Woodbury, and if you need a spot to stay Homestead Inn is a delightful choice.
