The Bowl Details
A small, but deep, glacial pond nestled on the south side of Champlain Mountain and below The Beehive. Hikers can get here via the Bowl Trail, just a 0.8-mile hike starting from the Park Loop Road near Sand Beach. It's a popular picnic spot and, in summer, a nice place to cool off after an afternoon hike.
