All these waters are noted for excellent trout fishing. The pond is flanked on the east and west by beautiful hills, while southwest five or six miles away are the Mahoosuc range and Goose Eye. There used to be a tote road through to Lakeside on Lake Umbagog twelve miles away to the north. It is five miles easterly to Grafton. The road for the first many years into the Meadows and Pond started from what has come to be called the "Red Barn," and went over Pond Hill a distance of six or seven miles. Some winters there was maintained a tote road from the John Horn farm, (W. R. Brown's residence), through to Grafton which went about y± of a mile south of the pond. The Blanchard and Twitchell Co. built their logging R. R. in 1895. It ran along the east shore of the pond to No. 18, about three miles beyond. This new method brought long-distance logging within the realm of profit making, and this venture proved very remunerative.
