Sones Pond can be a bit deceiving, at first glance it appears to be a natural pond surrounded by trees. However, it was actually built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. It's a beautiful spot to stop for a rest, or for trying your luck with the fish that are said to bite here often.

Nice little lake with good swimming and kayaking. However, it is a private lake so unless you're a member you'll need to stay at one of the local Hotels or Inns to get a day pass for entry.
