Native Americans called Horn Pond “Lake Innitou,” which means “Looking Place of the Great Spirit.” The pond is over 100 acres in size and is nestled beneath Horn Pond Mountain, which “towers” 287 feet above sea level. Pond and mountain are set amidst 550 acres of open space filled with a rich diversity of plant life. According to Tom Sileo in his book, The Great Spirit of Horn Pond, “members of New England Wild Flower Society … have located over 600 species of plants on the mountain alone.” Many of these plants flower in late spring, making the Horn Pond area a delightful spot for field identification. The walk focuses on wildflower identification as well as interesting natural history and lore. Bring a bag lunch, a copy of Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide and a hand lens if you have them.
