Hiking
You won't have to fight big crowds at this little pond, because there's no road access and it's off the river system that draws lots of canoers.
If you're looking for shelter, a side trail leads to a first-come, first-served lean-to. If that's already occupied, your next-best options are a primitive campsite at the south end of Cat Mountain Pond (about .75-mile west along the main Cranberry 50 trail) or another lean-to and a couple of primitive campsites at Olmstead Pond, about 3.5 miles to the north.
