     At Benson Pond you always meet someone from Pittsfield, and a pleasant spree to The Cove is a tremendous way to spend an afternoon. Benson Pond is a glorious spot to visit for more than one day, Bissellville Campground is a glorious spot to camp nearby; let's not forget Bilodeau Brook which is a stream that you may come across while here.
