Running
This part of the park is relatively lightly trafficked, so you really feel like you are immersed in the wilderness as soon as you hit the woods. Rum Pond is beautiful and offers neat reflective views of Katahdin from the southern end. The Rum Pond Trail is not difficult, peaceful, and can be combined with the Cranberry Pond Trail or Abol Pond Trail for a longer run.

Hiking
Rum Pond is a lightly trafficked freshwater pond in Baxter State Park and quite secluded feeling in comparison to some of the other more popular ponds and lakes; it is a great place to get away from some of the crowds in the summer months. At the southern end of Rum Pond you can get some neat photos of the reflection of Mt. Katahdin on the water.
