Wooded ridgeline trail circling Island Pond with an island, ruined ranger hut, Lemon Squeezer rock feature and Green Pond Mountain views. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and pond reflections; fall for foliage and spring for mist. Trail starts at Elk Pen parking (no fee); moderate, uneven footpaths—combine with Appalachian Trail for longer loop. Expect limited parking, ticks/snakes; bring waterproof boots and insect repellent.
