The Hidden Pond Trail at Boyce Mayview Park in Upper Saint Clair, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile one-way trail that features a small swamp area and Spring-time wildflowers.
Hike Description
This track starts along the Birds Meadow Drive (a gravel walking path) and heads south, passing the Little Falls Trail and eventually reaches the Falling Leaf Trail. While this trail is extremely short, it boasts some beautiful flowers in the Spring time along with a chance to see wildlife at the swamp. When we tracked this trail, during late April 2021, the trail had some blowdowns and overgrowth that had not been maintained.
The swamp area has a bench hikers can use to take a little break and to enjoy the scenery.
Pets
Dogs are not allowed on this trail.
Parking

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
