Hurd Pond Paddling

Description

This beautiful paddling trip offers grand views and remote wilderness. Small islands and secluded coves on the south shore of the pond are excellent places to explore. A campsite on the west shore of Hurd Pond (accessible only by boat) provides the option of an easy overnight paddling experience. The campsite has both a small beach and a pit toilet.
