The trail to Mitchell Ponds features an easy, rolling terrain on an old roadbed that ends at both trailheads to Mitchell Ponds. The trail is wide, great place for the whole family.


The trail that offers mountain biking in the warmer weather, provides great snowmobiling fun in the winter. Because of this, the trail is not recommended for winter access as the Moose River Plains Wild Forest is a snowmobile corridor and not open to cars or trucks in the winter.

 
Birds and nature abound along the trail and ponds, making it a bird lover’s paradise no matter what the season. Wood warblers, woodpeckers and ruffed grouse are commonly seen along the trail while on the water you could spot a great blue heron, merganser or common loons. The last Golden Eagle to nest in New York state was along this trail in 1971.
 

The ponds  and across the ponds are a photographer’s dream made even more stunning with fresh winter snow.
