     Here at Mill Pond you can see Cedar Mountain; do take a look at Lower Pond, it's a delightful lake. A nice site for whitewater paddling in the neighborhood of Mill Pond is Roaring Brook River; you'll meet a lot of people from Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford here. Mill Pond is a rather wet place mostly with a large amount of rainfall; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily May, that's the one that rains the most; February meanwhile is the driest month. Not  
   enough hours in a day to enjoy this site. A great close by hotel is Courtyard Hartford Farmington, and camping at Little City Campground is always a magnificent experience.
Now, you may think that's heaps but there's even more exciting stuff to do here at Mill Pond. If you came to camp Camp Eagle Feather is a good location to do that; don't leave without dropping by Dinosaur State Park. On a good day at Mill Pond you can take a hike along the Washington
 
               Trail, and for you golfers we recommend nearby Goodwin Golf Course. This lake is so wonderful. You'll locate a gorgeous lake called Griswold Reservoir near Mill Pond, and if you're here you can take a hike along the Mattabesset Trail.
Take a little journey to Bass Brook since you're here at Mill Pond, and if you don't mind getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Farmington River. Really perfect skiing awaits you at Mount Southington, and going for a hike along the Metacomet Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area. This lake is so wonderful. You can never get enough of the perfect skiing at Powder Ridge; there's always Mill Pond Dam to go to in the vicinity of Mill Pond.

Metacomet Trail
I finally located the trail entrance about 20 feet past a dirt road gate on the right that I had been using to get to the ridge line.  Thanks for the help!...Gene, The trailhead at 315 and 189 is actually on Mountain Road which comes off the Rd right at the juncture.  The telphone poles are blazed and the trail breaks into the woods about halfway up on the right side of the road.  That is a nice section of trail although we hiked it in the rain.  Happy Trails....I am having difficulty locating the trail head in East Granby at rtes. 315 and 189 that leads to south toward Penwood State Park.  The trail maps say that the trail head is on Mountain Road, but there are no blue/yellow blazed trail markers on either of the two entry points into the woods.  The only indication of the trail is the sign post at the bottom of the road in the three way intersection.  Thanks....
