Round Pond sits in a natural bowl created by Mount Covell’s horseshoe elevations.

There is a hiking trail associated with Round Pond. Parking for the southwestern trailhead for the Round Pond Brook Trail is on the eastern side of Round Pond. To get to the southwestern trailhead, take US-3 north, from Lopstick. At Round Pond Road, at mile marker 228.5, go left and drive for 1.4 miles. The trail is on the north side of Round Pond Brook and is marked by yellow blazes. 

To reach Round Pond, take US-3 north for a little more than a mile to Round Pond Road. This is the second left turn north of Lopstick. There is a flat rock facing US-3 with the road name on it. Take Round Pond Road to where the road forks and then bear right. The unimproved boat launch is about a quarter mile ahead, on the left.
