2021 Map of East Carry Pond

About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the heart of this Somerset County landscape, tracing a path across Bates Ridge and south toward the shores of West Carry Pond. This modern survey illustrates the intricate network of logging roads and trails, including the humorously named Mass Pike and Boise Rd, which facilitate access to the dense woodlands surrounding East Carry Pond. Water dominates the terrain, from the expansive Pierce Pond and its northern Lindsay Cove to the smaller basins of Jewett Pond and Little Grass Pond. Significant elevation changes are marked by landmarks like Hedgehog Mtn, while Arnolds Point reaches into the clear waters of the Carry Ponds, reflecting the region's enduring character as a destination for backwoods navigation and recreation.
