There are lots of picnic tables and looks like swimming in a Great Lake with s sandy beach. Trails are clean and shady.

First off, I read reviews that said its loud and I can say that yes on sat nights they do music and that is FOR the campground and the kids and adults have a blast but its NOT all night and once 11pm hits the music stops and campground is completely quiet and you really can only hear it where I am , near the field . And I have not found it to be abnoxiously loud any other time. ITS A CAMPGROUND people are coming to have fun!! And I read someone mention trash. There is no trash or garbage "all over the place" sites are not in "shambles" what I DO see is people that work for the campground going around maintaining the campground. Picking up trash, mowing etc. They do have a strict policy about driving too fast through the campground for cars and golf carts but I can understand that since there are lots of kids that are running around do you want to worry about your child being hit? I love camping at pout and trout and have gotten the most peace and quiet than I have gotten in years. No one bothers me and I dont bother anyone. I have awesome neibors that camp beside me and Im so happy to have a big area to garden . The staff are absolutely wonderful and I read bad reviews about the pool and don't understand why because as of this year the pool is sparkling clean I went there on one of our hottest days and was refreshed not discusted like reviewer said. So what I can say to these people that have in the past wrote terrible reviews about pout and trout is go back and give it another shot I bet you will change your review because it really is a great campground and I plan on being here for years to come to make many memories with my new grandson. Happy camping!!!!

The summit is bare and rocky; a great place to relax and picnic after that long hike up. It's bare due to early settlers setting fire to it for pasture. It's approximately 400 millions years old and the first recorded hike was in 1725. There are multiple trails but the easiest is the white arrow trail, which is 2.3-miles. There is a parking lot. I've been on this trail a handful of times. It's a great hike and a super fun workout. I'd recommend good hiking shoes, a small backpack with water and snacks, sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, hat, and sweater. It does get windy at the summit and sometimes cold depending on the season. There's no water or restrooms so plan accordingly. It's definitely one of my favorite hikes and love going on it.

I have hiked A LOT of mountains in New England but I had never hiked the mountain it seemed like…read moreeveryone I knew had hiked. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to change that and now I can see what all the hubbub is about. What a great mountain with fantastic views. After doing a bit of homework, I realized it was in my best interest to make a park reservation so that I could secure a parking space for the day at the start of the trailheads I was eyeing for the next day. As one of the most hiked mountains (in the world?), this park reports hosting a massive number of visitors each year and from first hand experience, I can attest that it is a busy one. The $15 was worth the peace of mind and my ability to pull right in and hop onto the trail. I had a hard time locating their "opening hours" but I arrived shortly after 8am with about 20 cars there ahead of me. I really appreciated the park ranger that checked me in for my reservation at the Poole Road entrance. Incredibly welcoming, inquisitive about plans, quick to offer advice for the best experience, and even shared a weather update (30 mph+ winds at the summit that day) before I was on my way. Supplied with a paper map and an idea which trails would be least busy and most scenic, I felt well-prepared for an enjoyable morning on the mountain. I opted to start out on the White Dot Trail. For less crowds, I branched off to the Cascade Link, then hooked a left onto the Red Spot Trail which delivered me to the summit. Gaining elevation at a slow and steady pace, I found the whole climb quite enjoyable. I rejoined the crowd at the summit but still with plenty of room for photos of the scenery and some quiet time to enjoy a snack. Wide open, bald summit with views for days. I would have stayed longer if not for the strong winds. After nestling in between the rocks away from the air currents to enjoy a brief snack, I was on my way down the mountain via the White Cross Trail. There were even glimpses of Boston in the distance! Each trail was clearly marked by it namesake (literally white dots, red dots, and white crosses) which made wayfinding a breeze. That said, I still came across a party or two that had gotten turned around. Do your homework, connect to a trail app if you have the means, practice your map reading skills, and heed the recommendations of the rangers and you should have the basic tools you need to keep you on track and still smiling. So many trails and options that can keep you coming back for more. The visitor center at this entrance was a welcome amenity, restrooms, and all. I cannot comment on the park store because it was closed for lunch when I was finishing up. All in all I got in just under 5 miles using the route that I did. Beautiful peak, beautiful day. Highly recommend.

Forgot the bug spray which would have kept the critters at bay with much of the trail having slow or puddled water. Parking wasn't too crowded, $15 for access to park. Snack and gift shop in the lot and the headquarters building just up the trail. Great restroom facility to use prior to starting the hike as well. Very rocky terrain all the way up, clearly marked with white dots (crosses as well for the return). Enjoyed the fact there were multiple volunteer guides hiking or positioned at locations (one steady at fork for dot/cross) if needed. Had low reception all through the hike for emergencies as well. Beautiful views towards the top and of course 360 once on the summit. Definitely worth the time spent. Pack in pack out, bring water and snacks along with the spray (both bug and sun)! Enjoyed a quick snack on the top with the views and a quick tsp of the marker before heading back down. Time to get up to the peak, what are you waiting for?!
