The Lewis Deane Nature Preserve, an 85-acre forest located on St. Catherine Mountain is just over one mile north of Pond Mountain Inn. Last week, together with two guests, we enjoyed this moderate twenty minute one-way hike — there’s a slightly longer more leisurely option to the mountain’s summit. I elected the more aggressive route up the mountain, which I had no difficulty ascending, however after my third knee surgery last December, I’ll take easier course back to base next time. Once we reached the top we were completely awestruck with the picture postcard view. My photograph certainly suggests that this is a “must do” when visiting.
