The vicinity where McLeod Pond is, is dominated by the Catamount Hills, and hiking is a popular thing to do around McLeod Pond; Sunset Trail is a great local trail. Moss Hollow Campground is a fine campground nearby, and don't leave McLeod Pond without first going for a hike along the Mount Olga Trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes McLeod Pond a wet site; the month with most of the rain is November, and the driest month is February. Hampton Inn

Lake Sadawga
 | 11 miles away 1 PHOTO ...ch is nearly impossible to do all over the world, china has a good system for that (though a little strict its neccessary you only need two at the most anyway more than that is just rediculous) in building, we need roads, well when it rains the roads and the houses prevent the acidic rain from penetrating and filtering throughout the peat and other minerals in the ground. This filtration helps maintain proper ph (affects fish immensely) and filter sediment out (which hinders the gills of fish)not to mention aids in producing topsoil. so the acid rain is now draining in ditches and along the road into ... sadawga, harriman res., and any other local streams which WILL go to larger bodys of water affecting the fish in numerous ways. I'm just a local catch and release fisherman who has left home to make a difference at home and around the world. as for the natural gas emissions problems, I'm not so worried about that (though its still a worry) to me its more important to focus on my previous exerpt as that affects the later exponentially. Its a great area and Iencourage you to visit it b... |

Barton Cove Campground
 | 18 miles away I have been going there for over 20 years. It is a great place to take a family and if you are lucky, you will get to see the bald eagles (I actually got to see their first flight)....Lovely campground with huge, clean wooded tent sites. Some sites overlook the Connecticut River, and a few offer access to a swimming or fishing beach. There are some high cliffs on the river side of the campground, partly blocked with post and rail fencing. Small children may not respect the fences, so that should be considered when families with kids choose their site. Overall very enjoyable, and I look forward to returning soon.... |
