     Really great skiing awaits you at Blandford, and you get a wonderful panorama of Bond Hill from here. Stay the night at Shady Pines Campground, and if you need a site to stay Holiday Inn BERKSHIRES is a good choice. Summer brings highs in the 70's to Plainfield Pond. Once the sun is down it dips down to the 50's. Daytime highs through the winter are in the 20's, and overnight lows through the winter for Plainfield Pond tend to be in the 10's. Just can't get  
   enough of Plainfield Pond.
This lake is so wonderful. Very delightful water scenery is available at Crooked Pond Dam right next door to Plainfield Pond, and a brilliant close by hotel is The Porches Inn at MASS MoCA. The yearly rain here at Plainfield Pond is about average; the month with most of the rain is August while February is frequently the driest month. There's whitewater on Chickley River for all you adrenaline junkies; going for a hike on the Dunbar
 
               Brook Trail is always a good adventure.
But wait, there's more to do in close proximity to Plainfield Pond. Skiing at Berkshire East is one of those things you just ought to do, and don't leave Plainfield Pond without first going for a hike along the Spring Trail. Lakes? Sure, Crooked Pond is close by, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Westfield River - North Branch. Hallockville Pond is a glorious lake right next door to Plainfield Pond; you can go for a hike on the Busby Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. Visit Basin Brook while you're here at Plainfield Pond. There's so much to do here at Plainfield Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Peppermint Park Camping Resort is a fine site for that.

Walker Island Camping
13 miles away
The staff at Walker Island was very friendly. There were many faucets located near campsites, and an outhouse, and an outlet in some sites. Our sites were located by the brook which on the other side is a busy road that large trucks occasionally rumble by. The pool was 5ft deep, compared to the 'small beach' which is literally a pile of sand plopped by the brook. No swimming in this beach. The arrow pointing to the spring is really a spring hung on a tree. Not so funny when your vacation hopes were to swim in some natural waters. Hiking may be difficult to find ask for directions....

...sing its natural appearance (not to mention killing the fish and environment) we should stop building around the world, this is one contribution to global warming and obviously the fact that we will eventually outgrow our environment. I suggest rebuilding ontop of old houses if you have the money to build a new house at all otherwise, renovate.I also wish to somehow reduce population which 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 affecti...
