   wonderful. If you need a spot to stay Great Barrington Days Inn is a magnificent choice; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Bash Bish Brook. Man, is there lots of fun stuff to do near Grass Pond. Grass Pond is right by the Northrop Trail, and Bald Peak is clearly visible from Grass Pond. If only every location had this much outdoors enjoyable stuff, what a great world it would be. What would winter be without some skiing  
               at Ski Butternut; people from Hudson love to come here.
After a long day outdoors Sharon Motor Lodge is a fine spot to spend a night or two, and there's whitewater on Housatonic River for all you adrenaline junkies. This lake is so wonderful.

Hilltop Pond
11 miles away
Hilltop Pond is a beautiful private pond. It's owned by the home owner on the top of the hill to the west and other adjoining land owners have pond rights. It's quite shallow, so it will always be in need of constant cleaning. The 42 acre pond is home to loads of wildlife and is the prime souce of water flowing into Macedonia State Park.

An interesting fact: The dam, rebuilt in the early 90's is made up of concrete blocks, each weighing over a ton. Environmental regulations wouldn't allow pouring cement into forms, so the large number of blocks were layed in place, held in place only by their individaul mass.

Jimmy Walker, the mayor of NYC would visit Hilltop Lodge, with his buddies. Hilltop Lodge was located on the west side of Weber Road where the road takes a bend well above about mid point in the length of the pond. The lodge burned to the ground in the 50's. There was no structure on the property from then until 1984, when the home to the north was constructed....
