Ferrin Pond is a great family-friendly hike with numerous interpretive stations which correspond to a trail guide offering information about the land's natural features. A hike of just over a half-mile leads up through the woods to the the southern end of the pond. Both the southern and northern ends of the pond offer great views. From this trail junction at the south end, a loop of about a mile trail circles around the pond. Follow the yellow trail markers, which begin just beyond the boulder gate. The trail through the woods, the loop around the pond, and then back the same way through the woods, makes for a total hiking distance of 2.5 miles.
