An easy, roughly 1-mile loop trail through an old beech forest circling two small kettle ponds (Bennett Pond and Beech Forest Pond, also called Blackwater Pond) in the Province Lands dune system. It's a birdwatching and nature-walk destination with boardwalk sections near the water, not a swim beach.
