Carriage roads offer the best access to many interior areas. The two easiest roads are listed below. Others tend to be steeper and slightly uneven with sections of loose sand, gravel, or rocky areas. Extended use of the carriage roads depends on your ability and endurance. When following the carriage roads, be aware of washouts, steep grades, bicycle traffic, and horses on some sections. Assistance may be helpful.

Eagle Lake
The Eagle Lake parking area on Route 233 has accessible restrooms and parking. To the north, the carriage roads lead towards Breakneck Pond, Half Moon Pond, and Witch Hole Pond (5.3 miles round trip). To the south, under the stone bridge, the carriage roads lead in two directions around Eagle Lake (6 miles round trip).
