A beautiful spot to swim, canoe, or kayak. Sometimes things get a bit busy and congested near the parking area, near the dam. But, if you get out on the pond you're likely to see loons! Or if you cross over the dam and follow the path along the edge of the pond, you'll come to a great, private swimming spot!

Entertainment & Activities
Great spot to either launch a boat or swim with the family! During summer season the swimming area is closed off and never gets very deep, so it's great for kids. But it can also get really busy if it's a hot day! There are picnic tables, toilets, changing areas, and grills.

I'm a bit bias toward this crew - I've worked for them part-time for years. But, hands-down, the best gun in the world - and right in our back yard in Hardwick! If you like gin, or if you don't like gin, check it out! There's also a lovely vodka made from honey, and a unique barrel-aged gin, called Tom Cat. They've also been working hard on a whiskey that I know will be a big hit!
