Bald Ledge Scenic Vista Trailhead

This trail starts on a class IV road. There is a sign for the trail beside the road, but the trail does not begin behind the sign. Instead, walk up the class VI road to an orange gate and trail arrow. Then follow the logging road until you see a sign on the right for the Bald Ledge trail. The logging road was muddy and wet today in March, but the trail after that was not bad and the view is great. An easy walk and well worth it. The trail after the logging road is blazed with yellow rectangles.

Loved this almost 2.5 mile loop. Most of it is a class VI road but a trail leads off the loop to Bald Ledge where the vista includes 4 lakes plus Hawkins Pond. Gentle terrain makes for a very easy hike.

Surprised to reach the lookout in such a short time. Trail begins on a little dirt road for about half a mile of mostly level walking before coming to a second sign that takes you right to the lookout. Maybe we were supposed to go farther? Anyway the view alone makes this trail outstanding. You could just go up there to clear your mind or have a picnic. Very good view for very little effort, possibly even too little effort! It's more of a walk than a hike.

Starts with a logging road, but transitions to trail, this short 30 min walk in the woods is worth the exercise to see the view at the end. I absolutely love standing up high and watching the lake and life below.

- Easy 20 minutes in and out. Not strenuous at all.
- Additional trails nearby but they don’t feed back to parking area directly.
- Dirt road entrance
- Enough parking for 10+ cars
- East facing view. Not good for sunset. Good for sunrise.
- Great view of lake, mountains in the distance
- No swimming. Fishing and boating is allowed

I found this place on Google search looking for a place to have a quick jog. A little tough getting there on my motorcycle as the dirt road has some steep incline in places and the trail itself looks like a very low traveled area. But the venture is well worth the short distance with a beautiful view. This is truly a beautiful place.

This is a wonderful secret place to have a picnic or to relieve stress. You access the vista location by parking at the lot at Sky Pond. Hike up the Class VI road about 1/4 mile and you'll see a orange or yellow metal gate on your left. Turn here and hike for another 1/2 mile along the two-track road. The road will bend to the left and you'll see a sign post that says "Bald Ledge Trail". Enter the forest and go the remaining 1/4 mile. Be prepared to be WOWED!

Lovely, easy hike... even if you're not in the best shape... bug spray really helps

It was a fun place to explore. Can’t wait to come back on a sunny day. The whole family hiked it, including our 3 year old and dog. Very rewarding views for little effort!!!
