Views of the pond will open up on the left. The down the hill portion will be steeper and the trail comes to a portion of wet area. Here many mistakingly believe the trail leads through the wetland.
It may have done so previously, and at other times I did use that way. The trail now takes a wide sweep to the right skirting around this wet area. It is actually hard to stay on the actual trail at this point, as many have made "alternate trailwork". It takes this turn to the right and appears to lead away from the pond shoreline. You will come to another left which another alternate, but not the trail. You will come to another "intersection" where the trail DOES finally take the left but your attention will be to the seeming trail to the right along the large rock outcropping.
Someone has attached a bright pink marker around a tree here to bring the left to your attention. After this left you will find stepping stones along the trail to help in wet weather. Once past the stepping stones the path leads through two large stones and out to a cart path.
Take a right to continue. This area of the forest is quite rocky. The cart path is easy stepping but a fair amount of rocks strewn along it. The trail will soon get rockier and up an incline and come to another intersection. The cart path leads to the right and will lead out to Chestnut St.
There will be a narrower path to the left. The Around Cleveland Pond hiking trail takes this left. There are actually two trails that lead to the same area. The 2nd left along the cart path may also be used and takes a trail along higher ground. Both eventually lead out to another intersection.
Taking the first left the trail leads down toward the water becoming considerably rocky. It then evens out and easier to navigate. Thereafter the intersection with the higher ground trail will emerge. Both lead down to an intersection with W28 which goes uphill. At three miles the Around Cleveland Pond trail then turns left over an extensive low boardwalk over wetland. I consider this to be the. In wet seasons when the. This boardwalk is separated by areas of land with trail intersections.
After the first the trail leads a bit to the left, another land intersection and a third section of boardwalk. The hiking trail once again becomes a cart path and eventually becomes more road-like. You will pass an scenic overlook to the pond that many have seemed to use for a campfire area. This will intersect with yet another "road sized" hiking trail that has a high multi use.
Area residents sometimes use this way to access the power line roads with ATV's and dirt bikes. Once to this road you will take a left. If you have done all the hiking you want to do at this point, following the road out to the powerline is the shortest way back into the eastern portion of the Park. After taking the left the roadway comes to an area that is always water filled but the road goes around it. There will be an intersection of sorts with an island in the middle. If you want the shortened version of the trail stay to the right and follow the road out to the utility road taking a right.
It was at one time marked by an orange arrow but has faded with time. This will once again take you close to Cleveland pond and an area that the swans like to take refuge at. This trail was a true hiking trail size but trail work has been done making it wider and easier to find. It will lead you out to the power line close to where the lines extend across the pond and across from where you previously were at the other boardwalk. Once out to the power line the Around Cleveland Pond hiking trail takes a right.
You will soon find your way to the shortened route area where the road comes out to the power line. Follow this road down. It takes a sharp turn to the right and views of the pond open up through the forest. The road will make an intersection by one of the towers and looking to the left you will find a gate to the eastern side of the park.
Again if the hike has been too long you can follow straight on the trail ahead. Notice the many paths leading to the right on the way. These follow into the Beaver Brook Conservation Area. This main trail will follow out to the main park area where you can cross the bridge and follow the first road on the right out to the parking lot.
If you want to follow the Around Cleveland Pond hiking trail in it's true form taking a left at the first intersection upon entering the eastern side of the park after the gate will bring you back near the water and the eastern boardwalk.
Continue along the trail that follows the pond and eventually will come out to the area with the large rock and bridge. Again follow over the bridge and taking first right will bring you back to the parking lot. The last portion of the trail. The Ellis Estate Trails in North Scituate are a collections of trails winding in and around the property they are named after. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood the Denham Pond Trails are a quiet woodland retreat. There is a comprehensive map of Ames Nowell on Maprika!
As well as several other south shore areas and more. Too flooded and muddy today with lots of mosquitos. Need to try again another day. Half-way through the trail is completely impassable and had to take another trail to get on the original trail. Very buggy also. You will cross a few small streams with sticks and branches making the bridge, but eventually around the 1.
Will come back later in the season. There were some cool, and really nice areas however several of the trails are not passable due to muck and flooding. Lots of trees were knocked down to make other areas passable. The bridge was closed however I risked it anyway so I could complete the trail.
Very easy to get lost not very well marked. Trail was nice, however part of the path did not exist or was overgrown so we had to go a different way. Very poorly marked on far side of the pond. I may still be out there if not for AllTrails. Bring a map! We just kept hugging the water but there are many trails off the main trail. So glad I finally did this one but I have to say it is easy to get lost!! They need some better markings.
Might be a good Eagle Scout project for an aspiring scout. Not well marked and difficult to follow. First half of the loop was much more enjoyable than the latter half. Interesting trail. Results in some swamp hustling and trails are grown in at somepoints although pleasantly scenic at some points. There are an abundance of garder snakes of substantial size in the trail and on the sides of the trails who will keep you company on you hike.
This trail is easy to follow, it has many climbs and declines. It was an awesome adventure through the woods. Areas around the lake a very scenic. Loose rocks throughout the trail but nothing too dangerous. This path is popular for mountain biking as well. Probably the worst marked trails we have seen. Pretty walk. Very muddy but that's probably due to rain. You'll need this app to figure your way around. Continued around north side of Pond but discovered marshy area was flooded but full of fresh beaver activity!
Bushwacked around flooded marsh area and back to path taking the power lines south where I noticed 2 lovely cotton-tail deer foraging. Continued south through the mushy trails to the dam and back to my car. Wonderful property! Use Navigator in the AllTrails app and join the other outdoor explorers who have completed this trail.
