     On a splendid day it's a wonderful idea to spend the day at Dossin Park Beach, and what would winter be without some skiing at Powder Ridge. This lake is so wonderful. Swede Pond is glorious enough to spend more than a day at, Little City Campground is a glorious local campground, and when you're here it's always fun to have a look at Wadsworth Falls State Park. Swede Pond gets a large amount of water; May is when you get the most rain here, and February meanwhile  
   is the driest month. Belcher Brook is a delightful local stream; a wonderful lake like Gills Pond is a pleasant location to stop by.
Why not explore Silver Lake Dam if you're here, and there's nice hiking along the Washington Trail. There's so much to do here at Swede Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Camp Eagle Feather is a great location for that, and great hiking is available along the Mattabesset Trail. This lake is so wonderful.
