Very wonderful water scenery is available at Riga Lake Dam near Riga Lake, and going for a hike along the Elbow Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity. At Riga Lake you can see Thorpe Mountain, and if you need a spot to stay Sharon Motor Lodge is a nice choice. This lake is so wonderful. You could also take a look at Grass Pond since you're here at Riga Lake; it's

come with highs in the 30's, and nighttime lows in the 10's for Riga Lake. Have a good hiking adventure along the Indian Trail. There's so much to do here at Riga Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Camp Waubeeka is a
pleasant place for that. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Riga Lake has to offer, you can camp at Taconic State Park Rudd Pond, and don't forget to take a pleasant little visit to Decker Brook. From a precipitation
point of view Riga Lake is a reasonably typical site; most of the rain falls all through May, and February meanwhile is the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. Playing golf is lots of fun at Undermountain Golf Course, and Housatonic
River is a tremendous whitewater spot close by. This spot is great, just check out all the entertaining things to do next to Riga Lake. If you like skiing, you're in luck; Ski Butternut is next to Riga Lake, and a great nearby hotel is Great Barrington Days Inn.

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.... |
