Hiking
Twentyninth Pond is a beautiful spot that's very close to the road.
The trail climbs slightly from the trailhead to a high point and soon comes to an unmarked path on the right. This is the short trail down to the pond, which you can see from the main trail.
Trailhead
Take Exit 29 off of Interstate 87 and follow Boreas Road west toward Newcomb. Continue to Route 28N, take a left and head toward Minerva. Continue for just under 10.5 miles to the Stony Pond trailhead on the left.
