Great Pond Trail

Easy Parking available Scenic views

The Great Pond Trail in Weymouth extends for one quiet mile through the woods and along the shore of Great Pond, with lovely water views throughout. Trailheads are located at both the Richard E. Gifford Playground and Negus Park, and there are a couple of boardwalks crossing the damper sections. Note that dogs are not permitted here, since Great Pond serves as part of the town's public water supply.
