Schoolhouse Pond

Schoolhouse Pond is a 42-acre property featuring a 1.2-mile loop trail through mixed forest land with wildflowers, interesting rock formations and a beautiful old stone boundary wall. The trails here are easy.

The property was the site of a schoolhouse from about 1840 – 1895. A small pond known locally as Schoolhouse Pond can be found by following the wider, multi-use trail through the center of the property. This trail is believed to be part of or near the old Barters Island town road that ran down the center of the island.
