     The beauty of Shaver Pond attracts many people from all around. You're sure to bump into some good people from Hudson here, and a splendid nearby hotel is Great Barrington Days Inn. A common amount of rain falls here at Shaver Pond; May is the month that gets the most rain, and the driest month is February. There are pleasant places to discover along the Indian Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Roeliff Jansen  
   Kill River.
This lake is so wonderful. The peak of Center Hill can be seen from Shaver Pond; if you need a site to stay Sharon Motor Lodge is a splendid choice. Skiing at Catamount is one of those things you just ought to do; you'll hit upon a striking lake called Goose Pond. Camp Waubeeka is a fine local campground, and why not a little side visit to Noster Kill.
That right there is heaps already, but it carries on; Shaver Pond has it all. Shaver
 
               Pond is a magnificent place to visit for more than one day, Oleana Family Camp Grounds is a magnificent place to camp nearby. And that's not all you can do here at Shaver Pond. There are some tremendous whitewater spots on Bash Bish Brook, and an afternoon playing golf at Undermountain Golf Course is always a diversion. This lake is so wonderful. Don't leave Shaver Pond without first going for a hike along the Elbow Trail, and lakes are such peaceful places, why not visit Robinson Pond.
Really glorious skiing awaits you at Ski Butternut, and going for a hike on the Northrop Trail is always a great adventure. All through the warm months at Shaver Pond temperatures are regularly in the 80's. All through the dark hours of summer temperatures dip down into the 50's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's, and overnight lows in the 10's for Shaver Pond.

Roeliff Jansen Kill River
12 miles away
Hey, for anyone interested in kyaking or Canoeing down the Ro-Jan Kill beware: There are many downed trees, which in an instant could pin you down and end your life. No one maintains this water way, and in many sections you will be forced by naturally occurring dams to get out of your canoe, or kyak and walk you and your vessel down stream through thickets of nettle. Personally I completed a trip down this beautiful stream unaware of the many deadly stimuli. So if in the near future you plan to get away from everything, just take note to the above....

Kinderhook Creek
17 miles away
There is a lot to run on the Kinderhook above Valatie.  In fact, it can be run all the way from above E. Nassau.  At E. Nassau, a nice boulder garden class II-III proceeds, with water attractions all the way to Valatie.  Getting out at Valatie is difficult but necessary before the dam....There are two impassable waterfalls 60 plus feet high about two miles south of the Valatie water fall. There is no viable way around these falls without climbing down steep cliffs. We stopped about a half mile above the two stuyvesant falls. My understanding is there are old mill dams before you get to stockport. Somebody gave you really bad dangerous info....

Hilltop Pond
17 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....
