the nature trial around the pond is so beautifully built with raised wooden beams on the south side and a granite pebble trail on the north. The views are sublime. This is an easy 3 mile walk for anyone who walks regularly.

Jordan Pond is a beautiful place to visit. The shop gets a little busy, but that is to be expected. There is actually a decent amount of parking, as there are several lots close by, we didn't have a problem with that. Once you go behind the building, and walk past the restaurant tables, there tends to be a decent... More

Jacob Pond was so scenic and quiet. This mountain lake was idillic beauty. It was maybe a 4 mile hike, not challenging terrain, about 1 mile of split log boardwalk, quant bridges, lots of waterfalls, just gorgeous. I was completely high on fresh air and clean beauty.

Nice to hike around the lake.. We did not have lunch there, instead brought a picnic lunch and ate right on the lake!

Again, take the carriage trails, eat at the Jordan Pond house at the edge of the pond. You will think you are in heaven. So gorgeous that it can't be real. One of the best parks in North America.

The pond was senic and serene in its beauty. The ponds water is clean and very clear . Fun stop!Its a must see on the trip to Cadillac Mountain and don't forget to bring a camera!
