     You can see Round Mountain from Round Pond, and camping at Kettletown State Park is always a good experience. After a long day outdoors Danbury Plaza Hotel is a pleasant place to spend a night or two, and an afternoon playing golf at Ridgefield Golf Course is always a delight. The high level of precipitation makes Round Pond a relatively wet location; May is the month that gets the most rain; January is when it's the driest. Whohoo, so many entertaining things  
   in one place! Round Pond rocks!.
The skiing at Thunder Ridge is delightful, and a good location for whitewater paddling is Norwalk River. A delightful close by hotel is SpringHill Suites Danbury, and why not stop at Mamanasco Lake Dam while you're here. This lake is so wonderful. Nearby lakes? Sure, Turtle Pond is right next door to Round Pond, and if you came to camp Mountain Workshop is a glorious spot to do that.
This lake is so wonderful. Mopus
 
               Brook is one of the streams nearby that might be worth a visit, and Seth Low Pierrepont State Park Reserve is a great site to take a look at. If you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on East Aspetuck River, and you're in all probability hooked on lakes, Mamanasco Lake is one of those nearby. During the long summer days, highs generally are in the 80's at Round Pond, and through summer nights temperatures are in the 60's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's, and night lows in the 10's for Round Pond.
And if you're still looking for more outdoors amusing stuff just keep reading. A swamp like Pumping Station Swamp in the vicinity of Round Pond has lots of out of the ordinary things to see, and if you're visiting from Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown, you won't be the only one.

Ella Fohs Camp Pond
19 miles away
I attended Ella Fohs as a camper and a counselor.  The time was early 1950s - 1955...I was at the camp from 1963-1969. It shaped my childhood. My mother was there when she was a kid too. I found her name carved into one of the bunks on the rafters: Sydell Freiman 1949! Shame it's not used anymore for innercity poor kids, like we were. Ellen Knebel...I'm sad to hear that the camp itself is not there any more. I worked there in 69-73...I began working on ''the senior side'' and we livrf in ''the mansion'' for one summer. ...There was a house at the middle of the camp itself where the camp director lived. Is it still there??...
