Turtle Pond turned into Slang Pond. This photo was taken on the portage route from Slang Pond to Long Pond. I paddled to the northwest corner of Turtle Pond to follow the small, gravelly stream to Slang Pond.

I kayaked to the start of the Long Pond Mountain trail marked by the canoe carry to Mountain Pond sign.

The Mountain Pond carry landing site was quite muddy but I managed to climb out over the large tree roots on the right. I had the landing area all to myself to change into my hiking boots for the hike up Long Pond Mountain.

After following the portage trail to Mountain Pond I picked up the trail to Long Pond Mountain.

Mountain Pond was totally deserted and very beautiful. I rested by its shores and prepared for my climb to Long Pond Mountain.
