Thompson Pond Trail

Located in Rockland, Thompson Pond Trail featuring scenic pond views. This trail system is ideal for hiking and swimming. The Thompson Pond Trail runs nearly two miles out and back, crossing French's Stream to reach the pond's scenic northern shore, where a boardwalk and benches await; the Twin Ponds Trail nearby is a series of loops winding through meadow and past vernal pools to two small ponds. If you're up for a longer walk, the trails connect south into the Rockland Town Forest, and remnants of the old airfield -- including a decaying control tower and hangar bays -- can still be spotted to the north off Adams Street. Also explore Rockland Town Forest and Summer Street Conservation Lands, other trails in Rockland. Try Summer Street Conservation Lands for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
