    Hiking

    Sterling Pond is Vermont’s highest-elevation Trout Pond and an extremely popular destination in Smuggler's Notch. You can swim and fish (with a permit) and relax by its waters. It's also a great spot for observing wildlife and photography all year round; there are sometimes volunteers at the pond who are there to talk about the local plants and animals, and to answer questions. There is a shelter on the east side of the pond for Long Trail thru-hikers.
