of abundant and unspoiled northern hardwood forest with breathtaking views of
the Hoosac Range, Mount Greylock and the Green Mountains.
Scenic Mauserts Pond has a landscaped day-use area featuring swimming,
picnicking, fishing, and a pavilion area. The pond is surrounded by 9.5 miles of
foot trails along which visitors may observe a variety of wildlife, and perhaps
a moose. The 3 mile Pond Loop Trail is popular with birdwatchers, and the very
easy Shoreline Trail has beautiful water views. 45 well-spaced and wooded
campsites are located near the lake, featuring a modern comfort station with
showers.

hikers. 4.5 miles of Appalachian Trail passes through the forest into Vermont
and the Green Mountain National Forest. Wilderness camping is available at 3
designated sites along the AT. Please inquire about access and recreational
opportunities. |
