Bennett's Pond in Ridgefield, CT is a hidden treasure just two minutes away from the madness of Route 7, in which you will find both gradual and sick climbs. Slick singletrack combined with ueber technical trails along the water. Following the white trail connects to even further miles of trail, including the epic Ives Trail that goes from here, through Pine Mountain State Forest and onto Tarrywile Park in Danbury.
