Eight Ponds Pass

Eight Ponds Pass featuring scenic pond views. The 9 mile trail is perfect for hiking. The Town's 2026 trail guide covers the completed eastern segment, roughly 4-5 miles from Beaver Dam Conservation Area to the Wildlands Trust headquarters on Long Pond Road, passing Little Island Pond, Great Island Pond, and Cotton Pond, crossing through Wildlands Trust's Emery East Preserve, and climbing a notably steep, rope-assisted hill near a former sand pit. Try Whiton Woods and Cedar Crest for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
