In the midst of suburban development, Great Pond's 297 acres of open space are a welcome relief. Here nearly five miles of trails help you explore the relatively flat, quiet woodlands and provide access to Great Pond itself which, at 36 1/4 acres, is Simsbury's largest open water body.
Great Pond Block: From the intersection of Routes 167 and 202 in Simsbury proceed west on Route 167 for 0.2 mile and turn right on Firetown Road. Follow Firetown Road for 0.8 mile and turn left onto Great Pond Road. Follow Great Pond Road for 1.6 miles and turn right into forest.
