South Pond is located near the Chittenden Reservoir and the Long Trail, and can be accessed by the South Pond Trail, a 1.5-mile hike that climbs 764 feet from the Round Robin Trailhead. South Pond is surrounded by a large wetland area that provides habitat for wildlife and plants. The pond itself is shallow, only 10-12 feet deep. South Pond was once the site of a beautiful cabin that was planned to be part of the Vermont Huts network, but it was tragically burned down in 2018 by unknown arsonists. 

South Pond (10 acres) is a site for the Vermont LoonWatch annual survey. Birders are encouraged to volunteer as often and whenever they are able. See Join LoonWatch for details.
