Route Description for Hidden Meadow Trail
The name of Hidden Meadow Trail gives you a hint that it is tucked away and may be hard to spot. While driving from Polebridge Ranger Station, 4.8 km South, in the brush, is where you will find the trailhead for Hidden Meadow.
Walking through the forest, you will see the effects of a wildfire that burned the forest 25 years ago. Old, lifeless trees stand tall like a stick and young prosperous trees climb beneath them. The hike is one path and is a short but beautiful trail and will lead you to a large pond at 1.9 km. This pond is known for its moose and other wildlife activity so it is a great place to relax and have a snack and wait with anticipation. This is an out-and back-trail, so when you are ready, head back the same way that you came.
