Mallet Pond State Forest

The earthen dam that makes up Mallet Pond is about 30 feet high. You wouldn't know it unless you look at it from a top the dam.

This cattle skull was hung up at the campsite on a tree. Cool! It appears to be from a dehorned cow, and the lower jaw is missing. I'm guessing it was brought on up by a SUNY Cobelskill Ag Student.

This is one of the many informal campsites in the area. None of them have designated markers, and don't comply with state set backs, but as witnessed by the wear and tear on the grass, and mention in the Unit Management Plan, they are well used and recognized as such.

It's handicap accessible and if their wasn't the gate, you could drive all the way down to the pond.
