Black Pond Wildlife Management Area

"Private beach in the middle of nowhere. Awesome place, not crowded, covered all around with preservation of plants and small creatures. There are lots of bugs need to be protected and need to walk a bit like 20 mints from parking area to the beach. The water is covered with weeds and algae at some places but clean during early mornings. Loved swimming in this place always. No fishing and the place is pet friendly. My best place for relaxing summer season."

"Lovely place with pond, woods and beach. Even a little bit of a swamp. Very easy walk but very satisfying for nature lovers. I went a few days ago, May 2023, and saw and/or heard about 25 different birds."

"This was a nice walk & beach was great & also dog friendly. My only complaint was that the one gate was closed so it was a very long hot walk past 2 parking lots before I even got to the path & it was midmorning/early afternoon so by the time I got back to my car the only parking lot available was overflowing with cars & yet the gate was still locked."

"What a great hidden treasure! If you are seeking a private place to hike, then check out this place. The scenery is stunning, wild and untouched. There are boardwalks which make it an easy hike for families with strollers or those who use wheelchairs. It is wooded with shade and there are benches every few hundred feet or so to stop and rest if you want to relax and take in the peaceful view. I could feel stress melting away here. There are no public bathrooms or water though so come prepared."

"I would recommend coming here in the fall (October). Trails are nice and well maintained board walk. Great views of the pond and a very scenic area. The path leading to lake is still closed off and the ADA ramp leading down to the beach has not been repaired. Use extreme caution if you trespass into this area."
