Beartown State Forest

This lovely state park is centered on Benedict Pond, a perfect spot for swimming, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. There are miles of hiking trails, including a piece of the Appalachian Trail. The furthest reaches of this forest are home to deer, bears, bobcats and fishers. Less ambitious hikers can stroll the 1.5-mile Benedict Pond Loop.
