| Cooper
Kiln Pond may be reached from trails off of Bonnieview Road in
Wilmington (make a right at "Four Corners"), or from the Franklin Falls
Road, which that
connects the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway to Bloomingdale, not
far
west of the highway gatehouse. We took the former on July 13th, 2003,
and
hiked the 3.2 miles up to Cooper Kiln Pond. This is also a great trail
for
kids from about eight to fourteen. Gradual, light elevation gains, and
an
easy to follow trail. Pick a sunny day, and try it. |
